A lot has been going on here in Arizona! We are excited that Carrie is 20 weeks pregnant and doing very well. We found out a couple of weeks ago that the baby is a girl. The name we are leaning towards is Stella Jane. Stella for Carrie's Great Grandma Mary Stella Price and Jane for Ryan's Grandma Barbara Jane Kunkel. The baby is getting bigger. She is about 8-9 oz and about 6 in long. She is a fiesty one, too! She kicks and tumbles all day long. Carrie loves every minute!

Vera and Shelly (Carrie's sisters) moved to Arizona at the end of July and are currently living with us while they find jobs, apts, cars, etc. The house is bursting at the seams, and Ryan is totally outnumbered, but it has been lots of fun.To escape the heat, we went to San Diego and Los Angeles this past weekend. We left Wed. afternoon and drove to San Diego. Our friends, Brad and Manda Leach, loaned us this trailer to use camping. It was a nice spot to spend a couple nights in. We spent a day at the Dog Beach on Coronado Island (our favorite place!!). Wrigley was able to run up and down the shore, play with other dogs, jump in
the water, and make an attempt at leaving the beach with another family. Luckily Ryan made a spectacular 100yard dash and caught her before she really got away! We found a delicious Seafood restaurant...Blue Water Seafood Market and Grill that I highly recommend. The crab is AMAZING!! Friday we went to Balboa Park in San Diego and walked around. We would like to return maybe in September or next summer and see some of the plays they do in the theaters within the park.

We drove up Friday afternoon to LA to spend a couple days with Ryan's cousins in Rosemead. Pete, Cindy, PJ, Ivan, and Nicholas Ostry are relative of Ryan's mom and are always so hospitable when we go visit. This weekend was especially nice because Ryan's Great Uncle Don Kersey had his 94th birthday. We got to meet cousins that Ryan had never been able to meet before. Uncle Don had an amazing wood shop that Carrie's Dad would drool over. He had made some very nice furniture for the house with his amazing woodworking skills. Pete and Cindy and kids took us to an amazing sushi restaurant that we are going to have to go back to next time we are in LA. The boys showed us their musical talent on Guitar Hero...they are really good for only having the system for a few weeks! We always have a fun time with the Ostrys!
Thank you all for taking time out of your day to catch up with us. We appreciate continued prayers for us during the remainder of the pregnancy. God bless.
