Our little William was dedicated to God at his church recently. Both sets of grandparents were able to attend the service and love on the little guy.
It was a special day. His parents have pledged to bring him up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord. And we as grandparents will come along side them to encourage them and point our grandchildren to the Lord.
One recent weekend we went to Austin primarily to see Kylie play volleyball and soccer, but also to spend some quality time with the Alexander family. Kylie’s volleyball team ended up winning but the soccer team had a rough day and took a lopsided loss…kind of like the Longhorns who were playing at the same time.
The all-important prayer before the game.
Ready for action.
As I said the girls won their match so they were a pretty happy team.
Saturday we went out to one of the county parks for the Rangers/Lonestars matchup and for this day the Lonestars were the winners. Kylie played a pretty good game despite the loss.
The face on the right kind of tells it all.
Austin City Limits Music Festival was going on the weekend we were in Austin so the whole town was crowded. Kylie had a ticket to the festival so in-between and after her athletic events she enjoyed the festival. We wish we could see her play more often and we love spending time with Andrew and the rest of the family as well.
Part of the fun of Dewberry Farm was the Pumpkin Patch. We took a hayride back to the patch and even though the sun was high in the sky and not the best time for photos, it was the only time that Will was awake and we were not busy with other activities.
Mission accomplished…..fall pictures in the pumpkin patch. I love these fall activities. I think it is about time for a campfire with hotdogs and smores.
I took Ty and Nathan and met Melissa and boys at Dewberry Farm for a super fun day. It was a beautiful day that started pretty cool and cloudy and ended up warm and sunny. The kids really enjoy being together. Ty and Nathan are so sweet with James and Will. We mostly did activities that James would enjoy first and then when they left after lunch for naps, Ty and Nathan had fun with some activities for the older kids. Following are lots of photos from our fun-filled day!
Hopefully we can make this a yearly tradition.
