Mimi's best birthday ever...
Marsha turned 55 Sunday. Those of you that know us are aware that we are not hung up on age. Marsha still looks good and we just don't get bent out of shape about numbers. Joe Don and Jamie brought Anna and Andrew down to spend the weekend. Julie, Bobby, Jake and Avery spent most of the weekend with us.
She loved it. Saturday morning she and Anna did breakfast together. Then we all went to the zoo, followed by Mr. Gattis. That night we had family and small group (who might as well be family) together for a party at El Fenix. What a great day. Then on Sunday we all went to church together, followed by family pictures (thanks Tammy Marcelain) after church.
It was a great weekend for Marsha. She loves family and she is perfectly content to get to be Mimi to her four grandkids. But I have to tell what she said was her favorite memory of the whole weekend. On Saturday night when I said "Let's pray", both Jake and Anna immediately folded their little hands and bowed their heads. Mimi said it filled her heart with joy to know that our kids are passing on their faith. They are raising the next generation of believers in our family. What a heritage.
God is good. Happy birthday Mimi.
