This last weekend, Daniel and I and Tirzah Mae took a trip into Missouri to see Daniel’s grandparents – Tirzah Mae’s great-grandparents.
We had a sweet time visiting with Daniel’s grandparents, who were enchanted by our little Tirzah Mae.
While we were there, I took the opportunity to take some photos (of course!)
Jack was delighted to hold his littlest great-granddaughter.
Grandpa’s live-in caregiver and Daniel’s cousin really wanted him to shave his beard. Daniel and I thought it was fun (and I think Jack’s inclined to agree with us!).
Tirzah Mae sits with her great-grandma Garcia – who told me again and again how glad she was that I was “nursing.” “They really discouraged it in my day, dear – It just wasn’t done.”
Another three generation shot – Irene and Daniel are looking at the camera, but none of us could convince Tirzah Mae to follow suit.
Family is clamoring for more photos, so I’ve jumped out of order (skipping November and December photos) to give them a more recent photo album. If you already have a password, follow the link to the January album and enter the password to see the album. If you don’t already have a password, e-mail me at b3master@.menterz.com to get it.
Jack looks very much like a painting of Saint Matthew by Guido Reni: http://fineartamerica.com/featured/saint-matthew-guido-reni.html
Such fun. My grandmother died when I was about 4, so I have very little memory of her, but I treasure a couple of photos of her holding me when I was a baby. Tirzah Mae will treasure these some day.
