Mom Life: Family

As Grey gets closer to his first birthday, I feel myself becoming more and more sentimental...tearing up all the time.  Happy tears.  Today is no exception.

If you know me, you know I read a lot of blogs.  It's what got me inspired to start this blog.  While my blog is in no way close to the level of those blogs, I feel it serves a personal purpose for me that I wanted it to.  It's a place for me to get out my feelings...to share my thoughts with others.  I tend to really enjoy bloggers that write about "life" - meaning their blog isn't focused on only one thing, such as make-up, decor, etc.  I enjoy the blogs where the writer has a mix of content and lets us in on their own personal life.  This morning a read this blog from a blogger I just recently started following, and it got me reminiscing about the time I met my great grandmother.  I only met her once, just about 12 years ago, but I did get to spend time with her multiple times throughout that trip.  What a wonderful trip to Germany - the trip of a lifetime!  She has since passed, so it makes that trip all the more special.  Here's a few pics (horrible of me, but still special)...

4 generations



During the trip, I also had the pleasure of meeting my grandmother's sister, Gisela.
This is just the best picture of that I have of my grandmother and her sister.  
So much joy & laughter!



My grandmother loved being back in Germany - seeing her family.
What a special trip!



I'm so happy that Grey has gotten to spend time with so many great grandparents.  He actually has 4 of them. What a lucky boy!!






Cheers!
