Headed to Alpine, We Stop in Midland for Some Grandpa and Aunt Marianne Time

"Ready. One...Two..."

"...Three!"

"Gillian" The Beloved Seeing Eye Dog Drop Out

"Hiya!"

"Yay, Grandpa!"

Sometime around the end of March, Wyatt, William and I were driving down to Alpine to visit my old friend Amelie and her family in Alpine. The Lackeys were coming, too and then our friend Karen and her family would be joining us from Albequerque, New Mexico. A whole NTSU/Bruce Hall girlfriend reunion! Along the way, were were able to stop in Midland for the night and visit with Wyatt's Grandpa, his Auntie MRN and meet Gillian, the wonderdog! 

It was Grandpa Gary's 70th birthday and we celebrated with a buger cook out and some cake. Wyatt got to sleep in with Aunt MRN and that was very sweet. She gave him a little "aquarium" straight from Florida, which lit up and glowed and made him say, "Eeewww!" Like he does, stretching it out to about three syllables, when something particularly grabs his attention.
