Alex's Great-Grandfather



Today is the Fourth of July.  Zach's father was in town, so we headed down to see him and Zach's grandfather in Newport Beach.  Zach's Grandfather will be 92 August 8 and he hasn't been doing too well.  He sat in the living room as we all sat outside and played on the beach.  Alex went in to go meet him and they were instant friends.  When Alex came outside, Zach's Aunt barbara went to shut the door (because Zach Grandfather likes the door shut) but requested it stay open so Alex can come back inside to play when he wanted to.  When I heard that, I knew it was important for Alex to come back inside to spend time with his Great-Grandfather.  I think his Great-Grandfather got teary eyed when we were leaving and told us to come back soon.  I was so impressed how outgoing Alex was.  He wasn't afraid of an old man.  Alex pointed out the pictures and kept talking about the star cracker he was eating.  So proud if my little man.




Here's a picture of last Thanksgiving.  Four generations of Griffiths.
