Big Bear Lake and Week 23

We just returned from a 7 day trip to Big Bear Lake, which is a couple of hours northeast of L.A. in the mountains. Here are a few pictures from our trip:

Redlands, California Temple.

This is Lake Arrowhead, where they bottle water. We ended up wishing the condo was here instead of Big Bear Lake because the water was much more inviting.

"Rim of the World"

And that is San Bernadino, 5,000 feet below us.

We rented a canoe for a short trip out on the lake.

And now for everyone who hasn't seen Janell in a while and is wondering what she looks like 23 weeks pregnant, here's a little treat for you:

It's a Girl!

Last week, we received some amazing news. It's a Girl! Janell always knew it would be. Below are a few scans of pictures from the ultrasound. She's only about 6 inches long though it's amazing how perfectly formed she is.

Here she is giving us the thumbs up to assure us she's doing okay and isn't claustrophobic.

Here is her cute little face. I think you can also see a hand and her ribs.

St. George Trip

Last week to celebrate some exciting news (which will be announced in our next post) and attend a friend's wedding, we went down to St. George for a couple days. We went to Dennis' wedding on Friday at the St. George Temple (he served in Kobe with Shawn). Then on the way home we went to Cove Fort which just happened to be holding Cove Fort Days so there was a lot going on and they were doing free lunch, which is the only thing I need to make it my new favorite place.
