Special Grandparents

Our family is very thankful for the special grandparents that have impacted our lives in many ways. As we are celebrating grandparents this week, (National Grandparents Day was this past Sunday, September 7), we want to take time to say...Thank you, Jesus, for our grandparents! You all are very special to us and we treasure the memories we have with each one of you. Even though we are not able to see you in person much because of the great distance from us to you, know that we think of you often, miss you greatly and love you much!

Our family (Steven, Monica, Lacie and Nathan) with Steven's parents and Lacie and Nathan's Granddaddy Sidney and Grandmother/Gogo Glenda Allen during family reunion in August in Creston, North Carolina. We miss you and love you both! Come see us anytime in Africa!

Gogo Polly Trice (Gogo is grandmother in siSwati - the language spoken here in Swaziland) with her three precious grandchildren, Lacie and Nathan Allen and Caroline Trice, during our recent trip to West Palm Beach, Florida. We love you and miss you, Gogo Polly! Come visit us in Swaziland!

Grampie and Grammie Trice (Ron and Mary Trice) with Lacie, Nathan, Caroline and their newest addition, Maddison. Maddison is in the process of being officially adopted by Monica's dad and step-mom. We miss you and love you miss you, too! You are welcome to visit us in Swaziland anytime!

Monica with her Grandma Daisy Dean during our recent visit to West Palm Beach, Florida. Grandma, I love you and am so thankful for you in my life!

Steven with his Grandmother Graybeal. Grandmother Clara Graybeal went home to be with the Lord in July and we miss her very much. However, we know that she is now in a better place with no further pain or sufferings. Steven fondly remembers his grandmother in many ways and looks forward to sharing stories about her with our children.
