California - Pacific Coast Beach

We had a great time at Newport Beach.

This was the first time Joy and Josiah got to run on the beach of the Pacific Ocean. They had a great time running from the waves and got wetter than planned.

They even found a chance to just walk away from us.

Cumberland Falls

We had a terrific afternoon at Cumberland Falls, Kentucky.

Kentucky has been experiencing a drought. The fall colors are unusually dull and leaves are falling immediately after changing.

20th Anniversary

Today we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary! We had a wonderful dinner at one of our longtime favorites Steer 'n Stein in Rancho Cucamonga.

I got a beautiful flower arrangement in the morning. See?

Christmas with Grandparents

We got to spend time with both pair of grandparents while we were in Bismarck. There have been noticeable changes since they saw our children in September.

Sunshine

Today in the Seattle area the forecast is for "partly cloudy" skies! That has been a rarity while we've been here. It is great to see the sun and not have rain an hour later. We love to see the sun. Joel even had an opportunity to take the kids to a park!
