visitors from Michigan

Baron and Great Grandpa Keith

Grandma gave Eva some great birthday presents

Aunt Lynell held Baron a lot and he loved it

Eva just loved Grandpa and she still talks about him a week later

Of course the beloved backpack went to bed with her and we had to sneak it away

We were so EXCITED to have Grandpa and Grandma Johncock and Aunt Lynell come visit us from Michigan. The distance is far, but I'm glad we've been able to see them at least once every year since we've been married. When we were in Grand Cayman we'd make a trip up to Florida to their winter place and since being in Utah we've gone back to Michigan once and they've come our way twice. It really means a lot to me for my kids to not only know their grandparents, but also their great-grandparents. I spent a lot of time when I was growing up, playing at my great-grandparents farm and a big, loving network of grandparents and great-grandparents is something every little kid should have.
