Riding the Cable Car up a steep San Francisco street

The picture on this sign looks a lot like the real geyser - glad we saw it, but overall... pretty cheesy...

Stan's Alcatraz experience...

Muir Woods - absolutely incredible seeing (and hugging) the Redwoods - Highly recommend coming here!

We ate here 3 times! Sourdough bread bowls, sourdough pizza, sourdough french toast...

Mom and Baby are growing!

It's a...

BOY! About 30 seconds into our ultrasound this afternoon- she said "It's a boy... definitely a boy." We are so happy our baby cooperated! Above is a picture of our son (getting used to that word!) looking straight at us (baby's head is in the upper left part of the picture). It is about the only ultrasound picture that made sense to me :) The technician said we have a pretty active baby - so I am looking forward to feeling him move around more in the coming weeks - making his presence known. We thank God for this precious gift and for allowing us to participate in a miracle.

Gilliam Girls...

How could I not post this adorable picture? Here is Kaelyn (7) and Bella (3), daughters of Brook & Jeremy Gilliam (best friend from college). Jeremy's mom took the picture a couple weeks ago while 8 of us from Purdue were hanging out at a beautiful cabin in Brown County, IN for our 4th annual camping (now cabining) weekend.
