Friends and Family, etc.

Our Brother-in-Law, Bob Gross, had a book release and signing along with the Pastor of Calvary Chapel, Santa Barbara. This is Bob's first book, based on the sermons of Pastor Rick Ryan, and he is working on the next one already. We visited them at the Finestra book store in Santa Barbara on Sunday where we also saw Lea's long time fried Tammy - who was recently healed of Lymphoma after many months of chemo treatments and the prayers of friends and family across the country! Tammy got a clean bill of health as the cancer went into remission and she will have several follow-up visits for an immune treatment over the next 2 years. She is an awesome example of faith, surrender, and healing by the grace of God, and we are so blessed to have her on the road back to health for her children and the many who love her!

Taylor Live in Concert!

Taylor had her school "recital" with a heart filled performance of three songs! After the event there was a silent auction benefiting the Noah's Ark preschool she attends, and we ended up spending a bunch for a great cause... We took home a large barbecue gift basket, a beach party basket, a gift certificate for a haircut at a local salon, and a great 5X8 ft. shaggy rug for the kid's play area in the loft. It was big time family fun!

The girls are really sprouting and developing the most amazing personalities. They can't wait to get back to see all of their East Coast family!

Lea and I are involved in a great 5 week group study called Making Marriage Work. We would recommend the books the study is based on without reservation. Check them out:

The G family in Ojai

Hi everyone! Here's our new site to check out the latest family happenings in California! Grandma G is visiting us from NY and the kids are having an incredible time with her. We hope everyone will have a chance to visit before the girls are off to college! We hope to plan a visit back east this summer or fall - but with the business we really have to play it by ear.

More posts coming soon!!!!

Love,
David, Lea, Taylor, and Alexandra
