Thanksgiving 2010

We just got back a couple days ago from our whirlwind Thanksgiving tour. We spent Tuesday night, Wednesday, and half of Thursday with the Motz family in Abilene. Then we drove to Liberty Hill that evening. On Friday we drove to San Antonio for a day with the Griffin extended family. We spent Saturday back in Liberty hill, and we drove home on Sunday.


"Cooking Its"

In typical Motz fashion we had to have a photo with props– in this case, a turkey leg.

Yes, I made them all wear Thanksgiving hats...they aren't old enough to complain too much.

This year's photo session was surprisingly painless.

This one was really tough to get!

Halloween 2010

This post is SO late, but... here are a few pics from Halloween. There wasn't much to it this year. We went to the evening service at church, then rushed home to put on costumes. We thought there was a festival at the church across the road from us, but I guess we read the sign wrong. Maybe they had it on Saturday night, I don't know...whatever the case, when we drove up, the parking lot was empty. At this point, it was 7:30 so we raced over to a "Trunk or Treat" at the Lutheran church. It was a small affair- and it was all over in about 15 minutes- but the kids did come home with a bagful of candy. And they ate it all except a few pieces as soon as we got home.

Matt's Ordination

We enjoyed a short visit from the Griffins the weekend before last in honor of Matt's ordination as deacon at Providence Presbyterian. The service was wonderful, and so was the meal afterwards! Sorry it took me so long to get these up...


It's too much to ask that we all be looking at the camera, but here we all are.

It's been awhile since we had one of just the two of us, so here we are...
