Our Vacation has been great so far. Charis has been a super kid and a real trooper. She hasn't adjusted at all to the new time zone, so we have been waking up at 6:15 each day, which isn't too bad because we haven't totally adjusted either. San Diego was great and we actually saw tons of wild animals at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego. There will be more to come about that later. Today we are in LA, visiting friends from of old. Charis is liking it here, and there must be something in the air or the water, because she has had tons of energy without very much sleep. She even started walking on her own today. She is walking all over the place now and sometimes just standing and looking around. I hope you enjoy the videos of the first steps below.
Today we also stopped at Grace Community Church, and Charis enjoyed preaching from behind John MacArthur's pulpit. I hope he doesn't find out that she's Amill (inside joke). LA was just like we remembered it, dirty and huge, but the traffic wasn't too bad.
Tomorrow we are off to Santa Cruz and the beach. We're having a great time, but miss you all at home. The cities are nice here, but nothing compares to Chicago and the beautiful lakefront skyline. More to come later...

After you called last night, I went in and told Crystal that you had posted something on your blog. Immediately she was like, "I bet Charis is walking." We hopped out of bed and watched the video. Excellent stuff bro. Party all the time!
Oh my stinking goodness! Yea for Charis!
Now the real fun begins... your life will never be the same. Just wait til you put her down somewhere and she runs off before you even know it.
Josh, this is so exciting! Miss you guys!
Wow, that's pretty hott. I showed some people that Macarthur pic....got some good laughs....very nice. And Charis walking, that's pretty awesome. I pray that she will walk in the light as He is in the light.
