Waters Family Update

Hi Everyone!

It's been awhile, and we still have more pictures to post from the last couple of months, but this is at least a start. We had quite an adventure in January when we took all three kids in the car on a road trip for 2 weeks. We drove first to San Francisco and stayed there for a week and then drove up the west coast through Oregon and up to Seattle before we headed back to Durango. Along the way we saw every Grandparent, almost all aunts and uncles, some cousins, and some dear friends. By the end, I'm pretty sure Ella thought she was related to every person in the world! =) Below are some pictures that we had from our camera with some of Maria's Grandparents and Seth's Grandparents. Also, the twins were dedicated at church so there are a couple of pictures from that. As you can see, the boys are getting bigger each day. They are crawling now, the funny thing is that they can only go backwards!! It seems like a million times a day I am rescuing them from underneath the couch or a table or something since they are stuck in reverse. Ella is talking more each day. Her newest phrases are "knock it off," ""sorry"(with a shoulder shrug), "as far as I know," "Whoa Dog." It amazing how frustrated you can get about these until you realize that they all came from your vocabulary. Ahhh!!! She is a very attentive second mother to the twins and helps me all day long make sure that they are okay and is very quick to take care of any situation that may arise, usually having to do with one of them playing with one of her toys. =)

We are moving ahead with moving to San Francisco and as Ella will tell you there are lots of fish and sharks there. The move date is set for May 4th, so please continue to pray for us as we make the transition.

We hope everyone is doing amazing and would love to hear from all of you. We are transitioning to new e-mail addresses, Seth.Waters@baychurch.tv and Maria.Waters@baychurch.tv.

Talk to you soon!
Maria
