In keeping with the spirit of Valentines (less then a week away!), I wanted to take some time to talk about our grandparents. They are true blessings in our lives. Let us present:
Grandpa and Grandma Powers
Grandpa Williams
And Grandma Millie
There is one very important member of the group missing from this photo montage. That is Grandma Beverly. Her time in life was made a little bit shorter then Grandpa Powers'...she has been gone since 2001, and has been sorely missed. However, Grandpa was blessed to find Grandma Vauna, who hasn't been a substitute but a remarkable and valued addition to our family. Grandma Millie isn't with us anymore either...that is probably why I dare post a picture of her in her pj's...but still, she looks pretty cute (and a bit sassy), don't you think?
Our time with our Grandparents are treasured moments. With our interest in old things, we love asking them questions about when the were growing up. They tell us stories about things like skipping church, getting in trouble for talking too much, what it was like to be in love with each other, and many other little gems we aren't allowed to repeat ;0) However, what we love most is the respect for their experiences that helps to mold our own actions. We are able to learn from them and be better because of them. Our goal now--give back a little to them, but trade for knowledge, hugs, and ice cream along the way.

Just found your blog. Sad but true. But I'm so excited to stalk you now! :)
The p.j.'s photo -- totally my favorite. She definitely is fun/sassy looking.
