They have this cute little train at the park - so Sunday we met up with the great-grandparents and of course we ALL had to ride the train. Yep, even had a great-grandparent on there! Everyone except for the people on the Wal-Mart car is our family, and I think it was about half adults, half kids!
Austin and his Great-Grandma DeJonge. This is my dad's mom. Man, he really stole her heart. She just couldn't stop talking about how good he was, and how he just watched her sing the whole time in church and never made a peep. Thank goodness he is a plump baby so she is confident that I'm feeding him enough! lol You just have to understand Grandma DeJonge - maybe now that I have 3 she will be trust me to keep them alive - NAW, but she just wouldn't be Grandma if she did! lol
I cherish these pictures with the Great-Grandparents, not everyone is as blessed as we are with so many of our grandparents still being alive, and since loosing Aaron's Grandmother last year, it just brought it even more to the surface that they won't be here forever. Mackenzie probably once every 2 weeks or so, will just pipe up while sitting on the couch that she misses GG, Turner unfortunately probably won't have the memories of her, but I'm sooo glad that Mackenzie does.
Cousin's hugging good bye. Gavin is a year older than Turner but you wouldn't know it in this picture. Allen and his family are moving to Houston on Thursday so this was the last time we will see them in a while. I don't think it has quite hit me yet. I gave Gavin strict instructions that he is not allowed to grow while he is there - think he will listen?!
And here was the immediate family: Ashley, Allen, Gavin, Christopher, Mackenzie, Aaron, Turner, me - ended up moving Turner up to Aaron's lap so Grandma Dejonge could hop on board too! Of course this train was a BIG hit to Turner who daily, hourly, maybe even once every 10 minutes (REALLY!) talks about trains, and if we will see one, and that he hears one, and that he wants to ride one, or is on the back of the couch like he is driving one.......
Looks like you had a great time. Enjoy every moment with your grandparents. It is so hard when they are no longer around to share everything with. Consider your grandmothers criticisms to be nothing but LOVE. She would not say anything is she did not care. If all else fails, so her pictures of my kids. Then she will know that yours are fed. LOL
