We survived MaryMayes' first Earthquake!

Hello everyone!

Well, we did survive the first Southern California earthquake that Holly and MaryMayes have ever experienced. Although, none of us felt it because the three of us were out for a little stroll around the neighborhood and never felt anything. We found out there was an earthquake because, as we were walking, a woman came out of her house asking us if we felt "it." We were like, "felt what?!" and she responded, "the earthquake that just happened. It shook everything!" Well, we didn't feel it, there was no damage to our place, but there was a lot of excitement. There was some minor incidents at Biola, but nothing major. All said, it got everyone's attention, but did not do any significant damage.

MaryMayes is doing great! She's looking cuter than ever, talking, smiling, turning over and just keeping mommy and daddy very busy. But boy, is she cute!

Right now I (Brett) am preparing for a retreat that I am speaking at. I will be speaking six times and the theme of the retreat is on Discipleship. The Retreat is for a church youth group that a friend of mine works with. It should be exciting! Also, School starts up in a month and we are gearing up for some ministry. WE CAN'T WAIT! Please continue to keep praying for us to keep God first, to grow in our relationship with Him and with each other, and to become the godly parents God has called us to be!

WE love you all! Here are the pics!

MayMae is happy you've come to gaze at her pictures!

That's crazy... I can't believe that you guys didn't feel it! It was a good shake and the rolling lasted a good 30-40 seconds. I was sitting in Starbucks (by Biola) with a friend. The building shook and the cars outside were rocking back and forth. =) Glad you guys are doing well!
