Family Time & Grandma's Visit

This month has been busy, hectic, and fun. We were really fortunate to have one of my favorite people in the world, my Grandma, come to visit us for a while. Okay, so she may not be may real grandma, but she has adopted me... she's Jake's grandma. Grandma Frances happens to be one of the women in my life that I admire most. She has a ton of common sense and while not formally educated, she is extremely articulate and well-read. She claims to be "country," but in my opinion, she's very cultured and aware. She has very humble origins, but you would never know it by looking at her, talking with her, or tasting her food! She never budges or waffles on her standards for herself or for others, she makes her opinions known, but yet manages to still do it with great manners. She stayed with us for five days in the beginning of her trip, then she traveled up to Holbrook where we later joined to be present for our neice, Kendrick's, baby blessing and Grammy Twyla's birthday. Then Grandma and Grammy came back down for one last day. We really enjoyed spending time with not only our Grandma (my children's great grandma!) but with our other relatives that we rarely get to see. My kids loved being with their cousins, who make perfect age-matched play companions.
