Last Friday while we were in Wichita Falls for the reunion, we made the little trip to
Altus, Oklahoma to see my grandparents. We hadn't been to their house since Elizabeth was about nine months old!
Not only were there family pictures in all the same places, and the same couch, and the same carpet, but my grandparents did the same thing they always do when family comes into town... cook! My Grandma kept saying how it was just a little meal, and she felt bad that it wasn't anything
special. Huh?! We had a
roast, homemade mashed potatoes, carrots, green beans, deviled eggs, jello with oranges, homemade gravy, and my favorite, orange drink.
The kids played out in the back, just like I used too. They
swang on the swing on the back porch, watching the air planes, just like I used to.
Even though I had a lot of fun in Wichita Falls, seeing family and friends and going to the reunion, I have to say that this was my favorite part of our trip. What a blessing it was to see two people who love each other, and love family that much!

These pictures made me cry--surprise surprise! How great is it that your kids got to spend time with their great-grandparents! Priceless.
