So we've been in Austin this week on vacation with some good friends of ours, Jerod and April Morales and their son, Elijah. Griffin has loved every minute of it too. He follows Eli around like he's his big brother or something and loves to hug him when no one is looking (because otherwise we pull him off of Eli because Eli doesn't particularly like it when Griffin attacks him)
We have been a little sick since being here. It seems somehow a virus got to me and then spread to Tyler, Eli, and then Jerod. April and Griffin are the only ones who haven't gotten it thus far. PLEASE pray they don't.
We are all feeling better now, thank goodness, and haven't let it ruin our vacation. It has just been nice to spend time with the Morales' and hang out.
So I hope you enjoy seeing these two stunning little fellows playing together, for they are for sure stunningly handsome, at least we tend to think so. :)

Next destination- Austin

Griffin & I are headed to Austin in the morning after being in east Texas with my parents for ten days. We have had such an awesome time visiting my parents and hate to leave, but we are looking forward to seeing Tyler and visiting our good friends, Jerod and April, and their son, Eli. So Austin here we come! Vacation here we come!

East Texas Excursions...

I like to drink my milk while wearing my hat...

Sandbox time at the lake!

This sand is interesting.....I might try a taste.... (he did of course)

I love playing with my cousin, Landry...

And I LOVE my cousin, Ty...

We are loving being here in Elysian Fields with my parents. Griffin had enjoyed being outside and sweating more than he's used to from so much hot humidity. He loves eating sherbert push-up pops my mom got him and wearing his new east texas camo hat. It has been so sweet to just visit with my mom and dad and watch them love on Griffin.

We got to go see one of my college roomates in Shreveport and her baby and also visit my sister and her family...

Fever down

Thanks for praying for Griffin if you did. He had a rough first half of the night last night, but the fever lessened and he felt much better this morning. Please continue to pray that it stays away. I think he is just still teething some and it's causing the slight fever. I am just so thankful it didn't get worse.

Fever?

PLEASE say a prayer for Griffin. He started running a fever this afternoon. It just stinks because we are visiting my parents and I hope he isn't sick the rest of the time we are here. I should eat my words because I was telling my mom yesterday that I was glad he got sick before we came and got it out of his system, and now look whats happening..... oh well...please pray his fever goes away quickly and he can rest good. Thanks everyone!

Swimming Fun

It has been hot Hot HOT this week so Griffin made his second swimming debut. It was a lot of fun just sitting in his pool with him. I am eager to put in him my parents real pool soon. Tomorrow's the big day. The day we fly to Dallas to see my parents and sister and her family. I have been eagerly awaiting this time since seeing my parents Griffin's bday weekend. I am just so thankful we get to go and spend time with them!
Please be praying we have safe travel and that Griffin does well on the plane rides and car rides.
Tyler is taking 40+ students to Estes Park, CO this week for Student Life camp. Please pray for him, the sponsers, and the kids. That God would bring salvation into their hearts if not already and that they would learn new and powerful truths from Him. It is a long trip up there from Clovis. Please pray they arrive safe and return safely too.
Thanks! My next post will be east Texas style. :)
