College Reunion Continues in CV and Pasadena

After we arrived home from Santa Barbara, our reunion continued with another fun visit from the Pelascini family. After they went home, the Monleys arrived for a couple nights before we all headed up to Pasadena for Jeremiah's fellas annual family event. As you can see from the pictures above, there are a lot of children among us.(33 to be exact with a few families not in attendance). We were thankful to catch up with the whole crew, but it was also nice to have the Pelascinis and Monleys at our place for more one on one catch up.:) More wonderful friends to be thankful for from our Westmont College experience! What a crew!

15 Year College Reunion!

We headed up north, spent some time at Babcia's house(see fun pumpkin patch pics above), left our kiddos there, and kept driving to our alma mater: Westmont College. It has been 15 years since we graduated from there and both of us are still so proud and thankful to have attended such an amazing college. Walking the campus again, chatting with alums at a reunion brunch, and meeting the current president in his own home, reminded us of the gifts we were given here when we attended and all these years later with life long friendships we continue to grow.
We spent time with friends on Saturday night and Sunday morning which was such a blast as well. Thank you Edgar family for opening up your home to us! You rock.

We headed back to pick up our kiddos refreshed and ready to see them again. We drove up to LA, walked around the historical farmers market, and Grove shopping center. Babcia bought Elizabeth her first official American doll as an early Christmas/Birthday gift. It was fun to see Elizabeth's delight in the whole experience. Our kids are so blessed to have such wonderful grandparents as well. So much to be thankful for. Thank you Lord for all people and experiences you have put in our lives.:)
