Grandmas, babies & photos


This is a photo of my Grandma Wava (92 years old, I think?) holding her newest great-grandchild, Summer Elise Agren. Summer is the baby girl of my cousin James and his lovely wife Chandra.

Grandma Wava LOVES babies and she hasn't had any around in a while. I only brought Julian down rarely to see her (she lives in Southern CA, I live up north) and he wouldn't ever cooperate and let her hold and cuddle him and sniff his baby-soft fuzzy head. I felt bad. I haven't been down there with Adrian yet. He might cooperate. Then again, maybe not. Darned mama's boys.

This photo makes me happy because *look* at Grandma Wava! She is ALL OVER THAT BABY, just loving her up. Nice of Summer to cooperate, because she just made an old lady very happy. Imagine having a GREAT-grandchild. Wow.



And here is the lovely Chandra herself, with her adorable baby girl. She is standing in front of the famous Wall of Family Photos at Grandma Wava's house.

What surprised me about seeing this wall here was the number of photos of ME. I haven't seen this wall myself in a while, but I don't remember being so well-represented. I mean dang, Grandma Wava has....*eleven* grandchildren, for crying out loud, and yet I seem to be taking up a lot of that real estate on the wall. All five of the photos on the far right below the top photo are of me. Crazy! Actually, I think the top photo is of me too. Not sure on that one.

Well now I know what to get her for Christmas...photos of Julian and Adrian to go on her wall!

Comments

The other thing that's cool about the Grandma Wava photo is that Summer's outfit is just the same butter yellow as hers. You know how Wava is all about the color-coordinated outfits!
