Update with No Pictures :-(

Well I realized today that I am far behind with my updates so I went to look for some pictures I could throw up here.... and I haven't downloaded any recently! We've had some big events, first trip to the pool, Joey's baptism and Matt's parents visiting. Matt's mom just left this morning and we are working on getting back into the swing of things. We are also in the process of looking for a place to live next year. While we love Martinez, it's a bit far for Matt's (3 day-a-week) commute into San Francisco and our church and all of our friends. So....we've been thinking that when our lease ends at the end of July we would try to move closer in to the city. Oakland is where we've looked the most and is also where our church and church family are. It is also the first big city you reach after crossing the bay bridge and an area full of a great deal of diversity and character. Hopefully we'll have more information to come!

Matt has been working hard through his first wedding season, alternating engagement shoots and weddings and some new work at product shoots for a company called Bond (that makes outdoor firepits and fireplaces), and a little real estate shooting. He is also trying to break into the stock photography market. You can find some of his photos at SnapVillage searching for "magic baby". The picture of Josiah hanging on the clothesline won Matt a second place in his spring art show! You can also find his photos on istock although I couldn't find any, but there are a ton there!

Now we are (hopefully) coming to a close on our house search, enjoying time with friends from church (and lots of new babies!) and waiting for a trip to the east coast (and both of our hometowns and families) in about 2 weeks.

Hopefully I'll be able to put up some pictures later of our life in the past few weeks!
