It is hard to believe that our oldest grandchild is now seven. He seems so grown up! He is turning into a lovely person. He seems to have a gentle and kind heart.
We arrived in Kansas City on Friday evening and caught just a bit of Pierce's baseball practice.
 |
| Pierce got a hit and also fielded a couple of balls to put two people out at first. |
Chad cooked some awesome steaks and Olivia made a fresh green salad for dinner. We just enjoyed having some "hang time" with the Fishers.
Pierce is a first-grader at Visitation Catholic School. In the spring, the school sponsors a tournament for parents of the students called T.O.P. (Tired Old Parents). Olivia and Chad participated on the first grade team. They played many rounds of dodgeball and volleyball over five days.
 |
| Each round began with a short prayer. |
 |
| Olivia uses strategy to knock out the opponents. |
 |
| Spectator, Reece. |
 |
| Chad jumps to block that volleyball. |
Later in the day Olivia and Chad went back for more rounds, while Rusty and I stayed home and played with the kids.
 |
| Papaw tosses the ball. |
 |
| Nice catch, Pierce! |
 |
| Reece and GiGi built stuff with the magnetic toys. |
 |
| Pierce wore the Birthday Hat, which originated with his Grandpa Frank's 60th birthday party. |
 |
| Like most brothers, there is lots of wrestling going on. |
The first-grade moms and the first grade dads each won the overall T.O.P.s tournament.
 |
| The Winners!! |
At the Fisher household, the birthday person gets to determine the entire dinner menu. Pierce wanted 3-minute eggs with toast points, fruit, and strawberry shortcake.
 |
| Chad is an expert at 3-minute eggs. He even has the little red egg-cup holders. |
 |
| Happy Seven, Pierce! |
It was terrific family time. Thank you, Fishers!
