In late October, we returned to So Cal for Azusa Pacific's Homecoming which was Tara's 10th year from undergrad! This was a great week spent with family and friends. We spent the first 3 days in Ventura and Malibu with family. This was Nathan's first chance to see the beach and the ocean, and he loved it! Caleb still talks about the 'ginormous' wave that knocked him down and daddy saving him. It was fun spending time with the Ventura folks.

Then we migrated 80 miles east to Duarte and spent the remainder of our days at the Strawn abode. Chuck, Carrie and Mihret were great to spend our vacation with as well. The kids had a bunch of fun playing together and the parents enjoyed catching up as well.

We were only two weeks from Nathan's 1st b-day so we celebrated for Jackie, Durne and the Strawns and Nathan consumed his first sugar! Check back in the flickr pages to Caleb's first, it is fun to compare! :)

All in all it was a great time. We defintely miss So Cal but our adventures in OK are treating us well and we are thankful for our move to the flyover state. We will defintiely be back west whenever we can spare the money and time which is hopefully boomer sooner than later! :)
