“Woe to those who rise early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink, who tarry late into the evening as wine inflames them! They have lyre and harp, tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts, but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord, or see the work of his hands.” (Isaiah 5:11-12, ESV)
Matthew took a flying leap off the deck in the backyard. Some friends were over and Jenn thinks he was doing a little showing off. She also tells me he cried a little but was more upset when she tried to take him inside. He really love playing outside. Here’s a photo of his first major facial wreck.
We started attending a church in Morgan Hill called West Hills Community Church. They are a biblically minded church with their foundation in the inerrant Word of God. They are also only 10 minutes away! This is quite a blessing compared to the 30 minute drive we were making to Grace Presbyterian. West Hills attracted us in a number of ways…
They adhere to conservative orthodox beliefs in their statement of faith. Each Sunday is filled with Expository preaching, feeding us God’s word. The teaching is passionate, encouraging , well organized and informative. They have a church building with Sunday school for all ages. The nursery is staffed by volunteers who are also members of the Church. The church resources links point to many of my favorite preachers and teachers. Christian Zorio, the associate pastor is trained from John MacArthur’s Master’s Seminary and the senior pastor, a John Piper fan, delivers excellent sermons that display a passion for God much like John Piper.
Jenn, Matthew and I are really starting to feel that this may be our Church home. We will miss all our friends from Grace Presbyterian although we will probably continue to attend the Grace Presbyterian small group on Tuesday’s until our friendships and community at West Hills picks up. We will continue to keep you all up to date.
Here’s a short video of Claire’s ultrasound. This was when we discovered that our baby is a girl. We also discovered that we might have a tom-girl, check out those shoulder and arm muscles! 
The first portion of the video shows her arm, followed by some close-ups of her face, then it wraps up with her flexing her arm.
I know. It’s so late to be talking about last years Christmas, but I forgot about these photos until my brother Michael had asked me about them. We had fun that day and I snapped a few keepers. Here’s a couple of my father smiling and thinking as he tells a story.
These are actually two natural and classic expressions from my dad.

I posted many photos on flickr lately. Some new and some very old, even before Jenn was pregnant and during her last pregnancy.
It’s fun to browse those funny looking photos of days we barely remember. Keep in mind flickr provides a way to break the photos into photos sets. I find that it can be a little confusing getting to the photo set page where it displays all the sets. If you want to see all the sets, Click Here
