A Joyful Noise!

This morning Deacon had his first opportunity to worship as a member of the St. Paul's First Lutheran Cherub Choir!

Before we left the house...

The Queen of America

This morning, Maren informed me that she is "the Queen of America."

So here she is... Her Majesty Queen Maren!

Cleaning out our cell phone photo galleries... a few from the last week or so.

RAIN!*

Go ahead... hum...

We spent the day today with William and Jessica, and what fun we had in the rain!

Everyone had rain boots...

Except Deacon.

But that didn't stop him!


There were SO many great puddles.

We're Off To See The Puddles...

A few more pics.

Introducing...

David Mitchell Ross!

Michael and Carol welcomed their third child into the family today at 1:22 p.m. David weighed 6 lbs. 11 oz. and was 20 inches long. William and Jessica are thrilled with their new baby brother, and Deacon and Maren were so excited to get to visit him this evening!

Carol is tired but doing fine, and Michael is in surprisingly good shape going on 48 sleepless hours.

Michael and David...

The kids are SO excited about David!

David is already so alert and interested in the world!

Deacon and Maren check out their new friend

5 kids! We're going to need a bigger table at Chevy's!

Derek and David

For some reason William and Deacon were fascinated by the bathroom!

'Tis the Season!

Maren and I went to the mall today and found Christmas decorations up at Macy's. Only 104 shopping days to go! :)

At Last!

This morning's first Sunday services were a success, and Calvary Chapel Burbank is now fully functioning from our new building at 2707 N. Glenoaks!

All three services (7:30, 9:30 and 11:30) were well attended and the folks couldn't have been happier to be in our new home on such a beautiful day.

Tom and Uncie Matt visited for the occasion and we enjoyed a hearty lunch afterward at Smokin' Jack's, a new Burbank restaurant.

The new sign...

Sometime soon, Derek hopes to match the angle of this picture of the Presbyterians in the same building in 1952...


Pastor Tim suggested bringing cushions for the hard pews... here's Dorothy Au in full compliance!

Fellowshipping in the breezeway!


Maren made friends with Tom, who last saw her the day we brought her home from the hospital after she was born!
