Ten years later

JT and Jim have been in town, and we were lucky enough to have them stay with us overnight.

At top, we have JT and Cora making cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Yum!

Unfortunately it was quite rainy on their day with us, so there wasn't a lot of fun to be had outside. Their first week here set records with crazy heat, and their second week featured several rainy days. Not fun!

On Wednesday night, we also had Jason, Stephanie and baby Morgan over for dinner.

Jason, Stephanie, JT and I were friends in college, and Jason, JT and I were all editors on Pepperdine's newspaper.

Here we are 10 years later, with our kiddos. Wait - you don't see JT's kiddo? That's because Baby Neal is still in utero. We're so excited for them!

Come early February, JT and Jim will join us all in joy of parenthood.

At least, we are guessing it will be early February...
Baby Morgan was supposed to make her appearance at the end of August, but she broke free early - two months early! Praise God, she seems to be doing just fine, after weeks in the NICU and lots of doctor appointments. She's now over eight pounds, and succeeded in making Violet seem huge.
