The Cutest Cowboy this side of the Great Wall
Giddy Up Horsey!!!!

God Our Father

Before every family meal we pray together. Jon Campbell up until recently has choosen the pray and lead it most meals. He has a little competition now which is very sweet to see. Jin has memorized his first blessing and can say it very clearly all by himself. " God our Father, God our Father, once again, once again, we bow our heads to thank you, bow our heads to thank you Amen, Amen."

Meeting more family

Jin met his Great Grandmother, Ferne Holloway, for the first time. Great Grandma Holloway is his Papa's Grandmother, and Jin's only living Great Grandparent. The mother of 12, Grandmother of nearly 30 and Grant Grandmother of an ever-growing clan, Ferne is the matriarch of the family, no but's about it.     

SAY CHEESE!

Uncle Boots terrorizing the boys
Who will win?


Our trips to Indiana must always include a visit to Decatur to see Uncle Boots and Aunt Marie. Uncle Boots is the brother of Clint's maternal Grandmother. It is always a treat to visit these dear, Godly people, full of wisdom and love.  Uncle Boots turned 90 this year, the last of his generation and one of the Greatest Generation who fought in World War II. He also has a great sense of humor which loves to banter back and forth with Clint.  Uncle Boots always wins with his zingers.  For our boys Uncle Boots and Aunt Marie represent a link to their history and heritage. AND Aunt Marie is the best cook ever!
