Catching up...

As we approach the beginning of February, we have celebrated several milestones. We have been official Californians for a month and Anna Kate turned 3 months!

Since our first lifegroup, we have continued to grow and spend time with more people. We got together for several Chargers games even though their time in the playoffs was cut short by the Patriots. Jonathan has met many new people through his time on campus and in the neighborhood around us. Last week, two 12th grade guys came to know Jesus as he shared with them in the City Heights Park! On the weekends, we have been exploring more of our new city. We spent time at Pacific Beach

Jonathan has started surfing and even got a wet suit to keep him warm in the chilly ocean water as he rides the waves. Suzanne has become a couponing shopper! She comes home with many grocery bargains and enjoys her weekly CVS trip usually totaling $3 or under. If you are interested to know more about this, check out www.moneysavingmom.com.

What a website! Anna Kate moved into her own room two nights ago. Once she celebrated her 3 month birthday so we decided the time had come. She has done great and is gradually expanding her nighttime sleep. Anna Kate has become more and more smiley and now loves to look out the window while she is riding in the car. She likes watching her Baby Einstein DVD and is mesmerized by the ceiling fan. She is still not wild about "tummy time" but we try to get some every day anyway. She loves shopping with mom while snug in the Baby Bjorn carrier and prefers being outdoors to inside.

We really feel like California is becoming like home! We like our In and Out Burger, but still enjoy some Chick-fil-A from time to time (there is only one in all of San Diego!) With reports of frigid weather in Texas, we are happy to report our sunny and 70s forecast in the middle of winter!
