Homecoming

Last weekend we traveled again to Oklahoma City to visit family. It was Homecoming for Oklahoma Christian, and more importantly, the debut of my grandfather's book that chronicals the history of OC from the very beginning years until now. I am just 4 chapters in, but it is incredible to read the book and hear the story of men that believed so much in Christian education they were willing to take out huge personal loans to make it happen! Makes me want to get involved more in things just because they are great causes! Somehow we once again failed to get many pictures with my mom's side of the family. On a SUPER happy note...my cousin Ross and his wife (one of my very best friends) Jenny are FINALLY going to have a baby! They had a tough road, but their (hopefully) precious baby girl is on the way! The link to their new blog is on the left under Andersons.

Papa's new book

On the way down we were able to spend the night with Grandma and Granddad. All 4 great grandbabies were there, and Grandma made us her famous soup for dinner, her famous biscuits and gravy for breakfast and hamburgers with her famous potato salad for lunch!! We went back by for another short visit Monday and she made homemade ice cream! YUM!!

Lydia and McKenzie with the red rocking chair

Lydia checking to see if anyone was looking before she went up the stairs

Daddy was looking, but McKenzie encouraged her to go up anyway!!

At the beggar's table with Granddad for some soup

I'm kinda thinking he didn't share, but Lydia never gave up!



Grandma with all four greats: Katelynne, Levi, Lydia and McKenzie

This is Necon's favorite winter hat for her to wear...sooo cute!!



Oh...and Lydia found more boots!!

We stayed an extra night, so we got to eat at Chili's with Cooper

On the way home, we stopped at Taco Mayo (Necon's favorite). Lydia kept sneaking dips of Salsa Verde with her quesadilla. At first we thought she was handling it well, until we noticed the skin around her mouth was FLAMING red!! What terrible parents!

When we got home, Grandma Warrior made the long journey to Arkansas to visit with Levi for the first time. He was in a great mood, and smiled and cooed at her the whole time! I think she liked it!!
