I scored big when it came to my grandparents-in-law. Sadly, I lost one set of grandparents when I was in middle school and the other set when I was in college. So early.
Meeting Ian's late father's mother and stepfather was a big turning point for me ... a time when I felt like I had loving grandparents in my life again. They love me like I was born into their family, and they ADORE Camille.
Here are some photos from a recent visit they paid us from DC. They are in their 90s and still extremely active. They are not afraid to pack up the car and drive, drive, drive. They are an inspiration! We treasure these photos.
SO great your little girl gets to have that relationship!
ReplyDeleteThese are the sweetest pictures- what a treasure to have them!
ReplyDeleteThose photos are such a treasure! It's clear how much they love Camille and vice versa!
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat Camille has great-grandparents and they're so active!! I lost all my grandparents by Jr year of high school so that is awesome they get to spend time with Camille!
ReplyDeleteSo precious!! Camille is getting so big. I never had great-grandparents or three of my own grandparents (my only grandmother is now 90!), so I really hope that whoever I marry someday still has grandparents who might "adopt" me too. :-)

Oh, wow, that just made me smile from ear to ear! How precious! Those are photos your daughter will always be able to cherish. :) I hope I'm like them when I'm in my nineties!
ReplyDeleteI truly treasure my time with great grandmother. Glad Camille gets that time too!
ReplyDeleteOh my gracious I'm in love with these pictures. What treasures to have!
ReplyDeleteThey look so young and spry! Hopefully they will be around for many more years so Camille can make even more memories with them.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a wonderful post! Camille, Ian, and you will treasure these pictures for a lifetime!
ReplyDeleteI just love these pics. It makes me so sad my Mimi and Granddad didn't get to meet Rob or my future children, but I am sure they are watching from above. You all are lucky to have them!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful photos! I love your blog. Camille is so darn cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure for her to have her great-grandparents around! I (thankfully) have all of my grandparents still, but both sets of Brandon's passed away when he was young. So, mine have become his and love him just like he's their own flesh and blood! (And, my great-grandfather is still living and it's such a blessing that Walker gets to know his great-great-grandfather!)
ReplyDeleteSO special! I wish Conner was able to meet my grandparents! Cherish these!
ReplyDeletePrecious!! These photos are so special!
ReplyDeleteThe expressions on your grandmother's face are priceless! So full of life! My only living grandparent, our sweet Nonnie, is 94 and we cherish every moment with her. To think these precious folks lived through so many decades - what a legacy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post filled with such special photos!! These will be cherished forever! Glad y'all had a good visit together :)
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so sweet! We're fortunate to live very close to some of Anthony's grandparents and it's such a special relationship for which we are so grateful!
