Griffin Family

He has His Father’s Eyes By Marva Jean Griffin Dec 20, 2008 I hold my newborn son so gently in my arms. And I tenderly caress His tiny form. His soft features, His tiny hands, I touch them with wonder. His soft brown hair, just enough there, and His long lashes Flutter as He sleeps and His mouth moves, and His chin trembles, As if He is anticipating the meal He will soon partake. I know He is perfect, so perfect. And I sit in awe of His miraculous birth. How could I be so blessed? As I look at his soft features, I realize this boy child is awake now and looking at me, His mother. How tiny He is, how beautiful He is And I know He has His Father’s eyes. My son grows and is strong—Soon He smiles and coos and laughs too. His tiny hands want to touch everything. He is such a good child! No murmuring sound He makes. I see Him watch and learn and grow. I see His Eyes that reflect eternity, and He has His Father’s eyes. Now my son is a young man – He’s grown so fast. He...

We left on Bryce's birthday - Thursday, June 26 about 9:30 a.m.  We traveled to Las Vegas and stopped and had a breakfast buffet.  The kids stuffed themselves silly and with full bellies we continued on happily to California.  Everybody behaved pretty good and about 3 in the afternoon we arrived at our condo.  We checked in and went swimming and checked out the area.  We found a close grocery store and got some beef for grilling.  Andy made delicious steaks for us and we enjoyed a quiet evening at the condo.

1/2/2008 LETTER TO BECKY Our drive home was perfect -- we left dad's house at 10:30 p.m. Friday night.  The roads were clear -- just a little hint of snow through Santaquin and one other town where we were afraid it might get nasty and then it cleared right up again.  I think we made the right choice.  Ed and Wendy came home Sunday and it took them several hours more than they expected and it was yucky most of the way they said. We had no movies and no treats since it was so late and you know what...there was no mess in the car!  AMAZING!  The kids didn't necessarily sleep well (the girls were restless) but they slept in the next morning and we had a Saturday to do what needed to be done. Well I'm glad your ward reassignment seems to be working.  I had about 21 girls in my YW program and it was a good size.  Are they spread out evenly?  I had like all beehives, a couple of miamaids and like 2 inactive laurels. I guess y...
