Random picture

Ok here's a blast from the past. Taken in about 1989, when my hair has hardly any grey in it at all. This is a 3 generation picture: my paternal grandmother, Amy at 14 and myself. I really value these kinds of pictures now, as I don't have a whole lot of pictures of my kids with their great grandmother. She wasn't exactly a "grandmotherly" (whatever that is) type of person. But she was at least trying for this moment! Someone was telling me that they were getting a formal 4 generation picture taken soon. That's pretty cool. This second picture is a 5 generation picture taken in

about 1970. It's awful and I wonder

if I was holding the camera and

cutting people off! My grandmother is at the left, again looking much younger. Still not overly fond of the grandma thing. Oh well.

4 generations

I have a picture taken in 1970 of my cousin and her young son, mother, grandmother and great grandfather...a 5 generation picture. It's been 37 years since that picture was taken and we haven't been able to replicate it. It's rare that you can have that many generations in one place together! Still, I feel really blessed to have this picture of 4 generations together: Great grandma H. Grandma K, Daddy Nathan and the two grandbabies Isaiah and Phinehas.

Behold, children are a gift of the LORD...Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;
