Generations




















The other day, my Grandpa came to our house for dinner. He is 94 years old, and has been a part of my life since I took my first breath. I have had the unfortunate opportunity to see many people I love dearly fade away, either in death or in strained family relationships. But he is someone I can look to as a constant. He is always kind, patient and loving. He has the sort of stubborn pride and a non-complaing attitude that only people of his generation seemed to possess. He has an amazing sense of humor...one that shined through even after he hurt himself horribly in two separate falls. I love you, Grandpa Owens! This month has been a good one so far. Matt had a week of Vacation, and so we had a STAYCATION!! We had planned to go to Disneyland, but didn't at the last minute....and it was a pretty good time. Of note was our trip to the Hansen Planetarium. Something cool there is a 3D movie about the animals in the ocean. I have never seen anything so cool, and Levi and Clara kept reaching out to try to touch the fish swimming through the air. One of the pictures I have posted here is worth a bit of commentary. Matt came running downstairs last week and told me to come upstairs with him. I went up, and saw my two little angels in bed together cuddled up like a Bougereau painting. Enjoy!
