One of our long-standing dreams (actually, more of a fantasy) was that at some point in our lives we would get to live in Santa Barbara as a family. Being here with Ben and Clara has led to discovering the city in a new and magical way. The opportunities for fun, active, delicious and inexpensive adventures abound. We are taking full advantage of this time here as a family. We have been forced to live our life day by day in this season and we are being blessed with many days of memories that we will carry with us wherever the next season may take us. How strange that out of such pain there can be such a multitude of joy? It isn’t that the pain, scars or fears have been erased, but rather we have been given a chance for healing, renewal and a humbling, extravagant gift called grace.

I just love, all the SB pictures, but the ones of the picnic at the Mission are my favorites! How I miss SB, so glad you are all getting to regroup in such a lovely location. You are all in my prayers...continually.
