I am having unexpected guests
at 1515 this weekend.
I had not planned to be there but will be headed there
Saturday morning.
The youngest guest will be sleeping in her
Great Great Grandmother's bedroom.
I hope someday they appreciate the
significance of that.

Generation 6
Chloe Rose
her sister Claire Catherine (yes the Catherine name continues)
won't be there but Chloe will.
Marty is so good about bringing her family over.
Jennifer has 3 wonderful children and I am so
proud of her.
As busy as they are Jen and her husband
find time to bring their children home
to their Great Great Grandparents home.
The know the importance of family.
I am sure Catherine, Mary Elizabeth and
Catherine Belle are happy looking upon this site.

Wow! That is incredible Ann! Not many people are lucky enough to still go to their Granparents homes and here you've had 6 generations there. Very, very fun!
Take care,

That is so cool that you have pictures of so many generations. My moms... mom &(my grandmom Orde )was an orphan at the age of five, her mother died from the german measels ....sad that she never had a picture of her mom...or her dad..
That is wonderful that you still get together...Thank you for sharing your story ....
