Super Saturday

Heather and I decided to go visit the CA Mission in Santa Barbara today.  She has chosen to do a scrapbook for her 4th grade mission project, and we thought this would be a beautiful mission to visit.  She will be going to the San Juan Capistrano mission in June, and although it is a lot closer to us (30 min. vs. 2.5 hrs.), I thought it would be nice for her to get to see both.
Above, you can barely see tiny Heather at the top step; below, Heather is sitting in the mission's church.  It was very beautiful.


While we were away all day, Lizzy, our guinea pig, decided to have some babies.  We knew she was pregnant, but didn't know how many babies there would actually be.  The lady who we got them from said the first litter was usually just one baby; we got three.
The girls have named them LJ for Linny Jr. (brown/black), Charlotte (black/tan), and...
ML for Mini Lizzy (tan/black).  The names will stick, I guess, until we find out the sex of each.
And no, we don't know what we're going to do with them all just yet.
