Meeting Shylah Laine Pierson!

On Monday, July 19th (close to midnight) we were finally able to meet our sweet niece Shylah Laine here in Visalia! It was awesome to play with her for a few minutes as she got settled in shortly after arriving home from the airport. She's a beautiful blessing!

Jeremy's FIRST ever sermon at our church - lunch celebration

Our budding little librarian is crazy about reading, which makes Mami very proud!

On July 17th, Jer preached his first sermon at Visalia SDA on Community Service. Afterwards, family & friends gathered to enjoy good Mediterranean food and even better company. We all had a great time!

Thank you A&A, Millers, Andersons, Elicks & Buits!

July Highlights Recap ... we've got a really long ways to go!

One of the fun things we did at the beginning of July. The girls sat side to side for some fun hairstyling. Lauchi did great, never a peep. Brianna, like a royal princess, chatted up her stylist and found plenty of topics to discuss.
