Grandparents Weekend
We were in Indiana again last weekend for a “grandparents weekend”. That’s right, all four grandparents with their first and only grandchild. Talk about all eyes on Analiese!
When I lived in New York, the rest of my extended family was within a very short driving distance. Family get togethers were frequent. Those are some of my favorite memories as a kid. Now that we have a daughter of our own, it’s time to start making some of those memories with her. She may not remember them yet, but we might as well get some practice in. We’re lucky enough have two sets of very willing parents to help us out.
We enjoyed the company, the conversations, the food and the many opportunities to have our hands free since there were eight others awaiting their turn. Of course, we were never far. With all of her giggles and smiles these days, we were always within camera distance to capture this special time of Analiese with her loving Grandma, Grandpa, Nana and Poppa.
1. The look Analiese is giving Poppa pretty much sums up how she feels about him. His booming, deep voice throws her off a bit, but eventually piques her curiosity and grabs her attention. 2. Grandma and Grandpa just love seeing and holding their granddaughter. 3. SO HAPPY! 4. Mama and baby girl. 5. Nana and Grandma have a lot in common…including their white v-necks and how much they love their grandbaby. 6. What IS this thing you’ve put on me? Can’t you see it doesn’t fit? 7. Pretty girl. :) 8. Daddy is so proud of his little swim baby. (Check out that hand gesture!)
Can’t wait for the next opportunity to have everyone together again!


Thank you to Pat and Bev for your hospitality and for the whole idea of Grandparents Weekend. Kris and I truly enjoyed our visit to the lake …good food, good conversation….and being close to Analiese for the two days was a real treat!
Loved it all!
