Ella is 2 and the Boys are now 5 months.....

It seems like every time we post an update we mention how fast time has gone by. This is no exception. Ella turned 2 on August 24th, and the boys were 5 months on the 8th of October. In the last couple of months my Aunt Tessa, and cousins Melissa and Lisa came to visit from Oregon and we had a great time! Ella got to be a princess (and a duck) while they were here and she had a blast. Melissa got the twins to laugh for the first time and they haven't stopped. They are so giggly and smile all of the time, it is so much fun to just sit back and watch them. Ella is becoming more grown up by the second. She is an incredible kid. She loves to pray and talk about Jesus. It gives a whole new meaning as to why God tells us to have faith like a child after watching her everyday!

Seth and I are doing fantastic. We have now finalized our move and will be launching a church in South San Francisco. Seth visited about 6 weeks ago and we hope to travel there as a family shortly. Seth spends every free second he has planning, preparing, and most of all dreaming. As his wife I can brag and tell you that San Francisco will never be the same. I can't wait to be there and see how God is going to use us in that place and around the world. If you would have told me not to long ago that I would be married to a pastor with three kids I would have told you you have the wrong girl. Now, I am amazed everyday with how blessed I am and I wouldn't change a thing!!

I hope you enjoy the pictures. We love to get your e-mails and comments!
