Jenni and Merv's visit

Jenni and Merv were able to come for a week as a late birthday present for Jen. They left last Thursday. We had a wonderful time together and were able to make some fun memories. It was great to be able to spend time with my sis being pregnant! I'm so glad we were able to get some great pictures of us being fat together :o).
The next few pictures are of our little drive to Aberaeron, a town not too far from Aberystwyth.

On our way home the boys had to make sure we stopped at a driving range so they could get some practice for their golfing excursions in the coming week!
Jenni and I had fun trying it out, too.

At the end of a long day, we sat down together and watched some pregnancy videos while the boys played x-box.

We had a really nice Sunday together with Gerwyn and Ronda and their girls. We joined our meals together at their house. In the afternoon we went for a nice walk at a place not far from where they live.

I had never played golf before in my life, but it was something both Jen and I could do, and Merv and Chris took every chance they could get to play. Although it was a little frustrating because I couldn't do it very well, it was still really fun, and we all had a great time.

We also went to a place called Aberdovey. It was a long drive to get there and there wasn't much to do once we were there, but it was a nice trip for the day.
Merv and Jen weren't very impressed with the size and price of a scoop of ice cream.

We insisted on putting our feet in the water even though Merv and Chris would happily have headed back home. I guess it's our California blood :o). The water was freezing!

Once we got back from Aberdovey, we got ready and went out to eat at nice place called the Halfway Inn.

The last evening they were here, we decided to go play another game of golf...a mini tournament. It was the Iliff's versus the Campbell's. I don't want to brag, but we won! It was a close game, though and we all had a great time.

the last couple of weeks....

These are just a few pics of the last couple of weekends. These are of the Aberystwyth beach. The couple in the second picture below are Gerwyn and Ronda, our good friends from church. Chris had fun taking lots of pictures of Catrin(their daughter) and me.

It was so cute...Catrin loved the ocean and would have just dove in, I think, if she could. It was freezing cold, too!

This was her way of telling me that she wasn't close enough to the water :o)

The little girl is Gwennan, Catrin's older sister, and the little boy is Isaac. I teach both of them in my Sunday school class.

The next few pictures are with some different friends from church, and we're at Borth beach which is a few miles out of Aberystwyth.

This is just a random picture to show off how big the belly is getting :o). I'm in front of the National Library of Wales. Chris was taking some pictures for reference because he's been working on a cover for a book that is about the library.
