Midland Comes to Liberty Hill

It's always a special treat to have the grands come in from Midland, and we don't mind their parents coming at all!

Board games are always an option at GG's, and you can usually count on GG actually playing with you! Just don't try to block me in!

 While mom and dad ran into Austin to find a minivan to replace the MPV that was rear-ended some weeks ago, the kids get a pizza picnic while watching the old Disney animated Robin Hood. Oo-di-lolly, Golly!

 So Saturday morning excitement was checking out the new, slightly used Toyota Sienna. The kids were impressed!

 Meanwhile, Papa Wes was cookin' up bacon and waffles, and I supplied the butter, syrup, and assorted chopped fruit and nuts, apple juice and milk. Why is my porch like heaven?

 How about starting a business offering to come to your house and fix a big breakfast for your kids? Papa Wes is game! That's my mom and dad's waffle iron back there, think the wiring is safe?

 So Saturday for lunch I put on the big feed, had Papa Wes grill pork chops, and got Matt Parker's bunch out to the house as well. A good time was had by all!

 Saturday afternoon we made a run into town and stopped by to visit Mr. Joe McCune. He really enjoyed our grands, especially hearing that Morgan wanted to grow up to 'get married, have kids, and be a pianist'! Joe commented that few 21-year-olds could answer with such confidence!
 Saturday evening after finishing the Grinch that stole Christmas, Morgan and Emma put on a dance demonstration. Forget the piano, these kids will be on Broadway!

 Papa Wes enjoying his porch. Just doesn't get any better than this!

 Big decision for Morgan's Sunday breakfast.

 At Fellowship Baptist after the service, Morgan and Emma get to visit with our friend Phil Smith, who portrayed the Apostle Paul and recited the entire book of Philippians.

All good weekends must come to an end, and so the Griffins loaded up the new Sienna and headed northwest. We are so blessed by our heritage, it is from the LORD!
