Prayers go out.....

For the Patrician family as they have lost a dad, a husband and a friend this christmas holiday! I can't imagine how hard it must be. May the Lord be with you, may He go before your every step, may He meet all your needs, may you all know Him like you've never known him before, and may He fill the holes in your hearts and heal your wounds during this time of deep loss! May you know him as your comforter, your saviour, provider, redemeer and friend. May you know him as Father....

Prayers go out.....

Prayers go out tonight for Roby Duke's family and friends. We will miss his laughter and his music he so graciously shared with us! We are priviledged to share is his great gift! And we are sure he is making the most beautiful music as he touches His face. One day we will see Him too!

Christmas Day

Abuela, Auntie Bernie and Nana

It was a real treat to have my mom, sister and niece in town this last weekend. They live in Vallejo and rarely get a chance to come visit us in Monterey, but things worked out for them to stay 3 days. I got to show them where I work on Saturday and then on Sunday they came to 3rd service... WOO-HOO! It was the first time my mom has ever seen what Missy and I do. She was "overwhelmed" by it all.

Lanaya and Angelo really enjoy hanging out with Abuela (Grandma), Auntie Bernie and Cousin Nana (Ariana). And, as always, they got spoiled. Auntie Bernie is especially good at that. Lanaya scored a sweet looking hat and Angelo got a mini skateboard. The funny thing about it is that we told Angelo that he had to wait until he was 6 years old before he could have a skateboard. He prayed that he would get one before he turned 6 and sure enough, the Lord granted his request. I guess special exceptions apply when family comes to town :) ~Cisco.

Fall Family Festival 2007

We had a great time this Halloween at CCMB's Fall Family Festival. Lanaya dressed up as Snow White and Angelo was a Jedi (Qui Gon Jin to be exact). I just threw on my Giant's jersey and Giant's hat and was a baseball player. Missy took the kids around to the games and bounce houses while I ran around making sure the sound equipment was up and running. We also had James and the Professor performing in the sanctuary. All in all, it was a good time.

Jesus Loves Me + Popcorn

Get a few friends together and try it! :) ~Cisco

Fun at Pizzinni Farms

Lanaya and Angelo with our friends Abby, Lilly, and Bea in the artichoke patch at thier grandparents farm. This was my first time having fried, or as the kids called em', french fried artichoke hearts! Yummy! Thanks to Ilene!










Here's Naya, Lilly and Bea at the conveyer belt checking out the artichokes and looking for worms! It was nice of Ilene's brother Tony to show us how it all worked!

The kids loved running in the fields and exploring. Angelo said they wanted to have an adventure, but if the mom's came it would only be a field trip. Sorry Angelo. :)

Here is the slough in between the artichoke fields. The kids had a blast throwing sticks and rocks into the thick slimy goo! Yuck! We laughed so hard!
