a visit from great grandma and great granddad

great grandma helps seth put his oven mitts on. when dealing with hot pans it's a good idea to find oven mitts that go all the way to your arm pits. you can never be too safe! right, seth?

a three generation picture. for posterity.
(edited to add: that actually, it is a four generation picture. i forgot to count)

my grandparents came out to visit (my mom) from nebraska. it was so good to see them, because i tell you what, finding the money to get out there to visit and then managing to arrive all in one piece is a task that makes me quake in fear. so, we sat around and talked until my children wept with exhaustion and i was forced to take them home. it was fun. and now, more than ever, and despite the quaking, i am motivated to get my little family together and spend some happy time in nebraska.

Lucky your kiddos get to know their g-grandparents! :) Awesome. And Nebraska isn't such a scary place. I suggest ordering pamphlets n' such from each state you might drive across. You'd be surprised at how many random things there are to stop and see!

Miriam, that's actually a FOUR generation picture. And I have a four-generation picture from when you were about Ava's age.

That second picture is so precious. I've just got to mention to you, Miriam, that you are so pretty. I love your clothes- so cute! And I love your hair, too. It's gorgeous.
