#2. We just got back from Hawaii. Darren was recruiting for CBU and so McKinsey and I decided to tag along. I’m glad that we did. Kins loved the beach. She was obsessed with the sand; although surprisingly, she never tried to eat it. We were able to meet a friend from high school and her husband for dinner and had a great time catching up. We had some great family time- especially on the weekend when Darren was done with work!

It just so happened that Darren’s mom was there for business the exact same time we were. Crazy huh! So we took advantage of her babysitting services and had a nice night out. I don’t think she minded at all :)
We took Kins to the Honolulu Zoo. She loved it! She was really into the animals (well only the ones that were moving).

#1. We also went to Colorado for Darren’s work/ visit his brother, Barry, his wife, Alyssa, and their sweet daughter, Kendyl at the end of September. Darren and Barry worked all week while Alyssa and I got to hang out and play with the kiddos. On the weekend we took a trip to the mountains and stayed in a cabin near Breckenridge. It was a lot of fun and we have lots of good memories from that trip.

You can see it written all over their faces. It was a looong ride to Breckenridge and back.

#3. Now in less than a week we will be flying to Florida for Thanksgiving week. Darren’s dad’s side of the family lives there so it will be really special to spend some time with them.

 

Daddy Style November 7, 2009

I was looking through pictures and came across these jewels. One Saturday morning, Darren let me sleep in and got up and played with McKinsey. Yes, God has blessed me with an amazing husband.

This is what I woke up to see…IMG_4729IMG_4727It was a little chilly that morning. So being the thoughtful daddy that he is, he made sure Kins was warm enough. He managed to find a hoodie that was too small, added pants on top of her pajamas, and added slippers without socks. But at least she was warm:)

 

International Day of Prayer November 4, 2009

This Sunday November 8th is the International Day of Prayer for the persecuted church.(IDOP). There will be churches gathered for this event all over the world, although unfortunately not as many as you would think because many either are unaware or just simply do not care about the persecuted church today. If you are in the southern California area there will be a gathering for IDOP at Northpoint Evangelical Free Church in Corona from 6:00pm – 8:00pm that you are welcome to participate in. You can get the details from the flier below and also watch a 2 minute video that highlights last years here: IDOP 2008.
