It's late Sunday night, and we are officially exhausted! A good exhausted though! An emotional weekend having Jonathan here for his first home visit in over a year is coming to an end. He arrived Thursday evening, where we picked him up at LAX. As soon...
Friday morning, Jonathan and I both got up early. Actually, he always gets up early. The only different is that I got up early. Either way, it was just the two of us for a while. He ate breakfast, I enjoyed watching him, and we...
We started off a bit earlier today, at least for us! After breakfast, it was on to The Living Planet Aquarium. Not a big one, but definitely an adventure, filled with great fish (the kind for looking, not eating...
This morning, Colleen, Jonathan and I made breakfast together. His favorite: Chocolate Chip Pancakes. Josh slept in quite late, so the three of us ate together and had some really good conversation as well. We're so proud of how far Jonathan has come! At the same...
We enjoyed a GREAT day today! After sleeping in a bit and lounging for the morning, weaving in and out of conversations, we left for a day in Provo. We had hoped to get some snow tubing in. Last weekend, the area received what we heard...

After a great morning at church, we left town about 1:30 pm. We're headed to see Jonathan for a visit this week! Last time we did this drive in December, we did it straight through. Took us 13 hours, and while Colleen's joints did OK...
Wow! That's all I have to say about how long it's been since I've updated everyone here. It's a 80°+ WINTER day here in beautiful Southern California. It's quite something to experience this incredible weather while tracking the news of devastating storms and tornadoes throughout the...
We drove straight through on Sunday, leaving Simi Valley about 3:15 pm and arriving at our hotel in Provo, Utah, almost exactly 11 hours later. After sleeping in, we went to Heritage and reunited with Jonathan. It was a wonderful feeling and...
This Sunday, December 11, Colleen, Josh & I leave for our drive to Provo, UT to see Jonathan for his 16th birthday! His birthday is Wednesday, December 14. We hope to do the 11 hour drive pretty much straight through so we can ...
