Cali Recap

We had a great time in California. It was hot--mostly in the 90s the entire time--but we loved being there and miss it a lot now that we're back in London. Julie got back into cutting hair, which gave her the chance to re-connect with lots of her friends. We spent a lot of time with the lovely people in our small group--they through one of Julie's three (3!) separate birthday parties. I got to ask my pastor, Craig Hall, a ton of questions from my first seven months in London, and as expected he gave me some wise counsel.

We flew back on 29 August, and we're still trying to wake up. Ian goes back to school on the 6th, so we'll be back into our early morning commute. We're kicking off some new things this season at ACL, including a Sunday School class for adults that will be modeled on the one I attended at Glendale Presbyterian. Kate Obermueller (see below) is coming in a few weeks, which will get us back to full strength on staff.

So many friends to see and some really good times with our families. Ian enjoyed saying goodbye to his cousins. Here are some snaps from the last few days.
