BEING GREAT GRANDPARENTS

Arriving at the milepost of becomming Great Grandparents is no small feat. When I became a grandmother for the first time I couldn't really believe I was old enough for that, but now, this event gave us a warm feeling of fulfillment. Below are some pictures to show what I mean.

Aurelia Eleanor Talbot
was born in Fairbanks, Alaska on June 25, 2012


 
Here's Great Grandma trying to remember how it is that you are supposed to hold newborns.
 
And the Grandma, here, just moved beyond her previous persona as our child
and became what I am to her children.  Now that is an interesting development...
 
Here is Auri (as we now call her) with her Mom and Dad. These two, who so recently had no more responsibilities than to get themselves educated and safely established in the working world, now have this small one to care for as well.
 
And here she is, resplendent in her "meeting my public" outfit.
A beautiful child.
