4 Generations

The last time Drew saw his only great grandparent was July 2011 when he was only about 6 months old. Unfortunately, his grandma (Derek's mom) wasn't in town and we weren't able to get a picture of the 4 generations.

Well guess what we finally got? Yep! A good picture with the 4 generations including Drew's only great grandparent, Florence. 

Because Derek's mom is "Mimi", we decided his great grandma (Derek's mom's mom) would be called "Gigi". Drew has hugged her tons of times and given her plenty of smooches. 

I don't remember meeting my great grandmother even though I did when I was very young, and Derek never met any of his. Although I know Drew won't remember these times with Gigi, I'm glad he'll have these pictures to look at someday. I'm even more excited that he'll get to see her again at Christmas time and am positive he'll remember her by name.

Oh yeah and isn't this a great photo my talented brother-in-law took of Derek's side? Check out Matt's website here!

PS. We're working on smiling in pictures and still have to say "show me your teeth" to get something, but at least we're getting semi-better pictures. Now if he would have only done that for the first picture above!
