On the morning if the 10th we went with grandpa to LCH. This is the church he used to be a pastor at before he retired nearly 12 years ago. He and my gramma started going to another church when he retired, but returned when gramma was diagnosed with breast cancer (their church family was so supportive and wonderful). Being there was great! I remember the church being really awesome from the speckled marble floors to the 'secret' passage to the sanctuary. I even remember that it was one of the only places outside of the mall that was freezing cold air conditioned! I loved this place :)
Violet had her first church experience here on Sunday :) Matt brought her up for the children's sermon and great grandpa held her during communion :) She was such a good girl :)
After church we went to Kalama beach in the afternoon where Violet had her first real beach experience with sand and dipping in the water to her tummy :) We finished off the day with a spectacular dinner at grandpa's house with the whole family :)
It's so wonderful to be here to celebrate family and gramma's amazing life :)
You three make such a beautiful family. Glad you could reunite at a special family church.
