Recently, an older relative of mine put together a facebook group with pictures from my paternal grandfather's family. They're sweet and make me thankful for where I've come from.
I'm hoping to sit down with my grandfather soon and get some stories with these pictures...
My dad's dad - in his younger years.
My great-grandparents, "Memaw & Pepaw"
He was a preacher out in Grand Prarie, Texas. A lot of the family still lives there. We had the privilege of living in Texas for a little while and sharing some holidays with them.
I don't know if it's the baby or just my natural inclination for history that makes me so excited about learning more. I'm blessed to come from a family that loved God and gave their lives to make Him known. I hope my children feel the same one day.
He still looks just the same. =)
