More playtime in Texas





Tony's Mission - the Mission of Divine Mercy, New Braunfels, TX









We spend a long weekend in Texas with Andy's family - his mother, father and older brother. His brother, Tony, also known as Father Moses of Jesus, lives on and helps to run a Catholic Mission there called the Mission of Divine Mercy. It was a wonderful weekend with family and we were so happy to introduce Tony to his new niece. We were a bit surprised at the weather - 80 degrees on the first day we were there, but then it dropped into the 40s and was really windy on the next day. We were completely unprepared for the change in weather! Even southern Texas gets cold sometimes. It was a memorable trip and we look forward to seeing Tony again soon.

"Anna" is the name that Noah decided Grandma Messier should be called when he was about 1. We don't know why, but he is the oldest grandchild and the name stuck. So Grandma & Grandpa Messier are "Anna" and "Papa."
