A few weeks ago

I totally forgot to share these pictures. We went up north a few weekends ago to visit family since my dad was going to be in town. We got to have lunch with my grandparents and dad one day and then my uncle and aunt and dad on Sunday at Scott's parent's place - along with like 20 guys from LeTourneau - ok, not 20, but a lot. It was really great to see my dad for a few days. We went through a bunch of old pictures that are stored in the attic. We were looking for some of a specific couple from Guam who are celebrating their 50th anniversary, but in the meantime also enjoyed reminiscing about all the others that we found as well. I took digital pictures of several to share with friends on facebook. They all seemed to enjoy that. :) Above is one of my family a few years back. Heh - oops, you can see my finger on the left side of that one... I should have cropped it better.

For lunch with my family we went to the Lux Cafe - which is a new family restaurant type place that is pretty good. We ran into several people we knew while we were there. Oh and I ran into someone from Brenneman while we were at Sugar Grove for one of the evenings of their missions conference. It's always fun seeing who you run into when going back to your hometown.
We also got to have lunch at Hacienda with Scott's mom and brother on Saturday. I haven't been there in forever. It was delicious as always. Casa Brava is our really great, different, but equally good - if not better, Mexican food substitute here in our town.

And I got to check out a house my parents are thinking of buying to fix up. I had to wake up at like 5:30 to go, but I'm always up for checking out houses. :)

Just in case you were wondering, dad made it back to Africa safely.
