My side of the family

We had the opportunity to spend some time with my brother and his family this week. He is a Student Pastor at Village Baptist in Destin, FL and he has a beautiful wife and an absolutely adorable one year old son. Usually we go to Destin for summer vacation... but with Eliza and our trip to Guatemala our vacay budget was thin. So I was so glad that they came for a break from the beach and to meet our sweet Eliza.

We really enjoyed our visit... and wish it was longer and more often. I keep telling him to move here. I am sure that there is a church here that could use his services. But I guess I will continue to let God do the leading about my brother and his wife's ministry. ( I am purposely leaving your names out of this post... because I did not ask how you felt about it).

Here is "Bubba" spending some one on one time with Eliza.

The precious nephew I was talking about with a fresh first hair cut too!!!

Nommie getting a rare moment alone with Eliza (Silas has claimed her as his own and hardly lets her put him down).


The whole clan feeling patriotic in their red, white, and blue.
