A Few Good Quotes

"There is something so settled and stodgy about turning a great romance into next of kin on an emergency room form, and something so soothing and special, too." ~ Anna Quindlen

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" ~Mary Anne Radmacher

This past weekend, we hosted the McCurry and Driskill families in celebration of Grandfather Driskill's 5th wedding anniversary to his wife, Dena. Ian's grandmother died about 6 years ago and his grandfather married again, to a woman who takes great care of him.

Ruthie has met her great grandfather before, when we went over to their house in Baldwin Park, but it was a special treat to have them in our home. And of course, when you are 91, you never know how many more visits you're going to get, so we took a lot of pictures to commemorate. (Sorry, didn't mean for that to sound so morbid...)

Here is Ian, with his Grandfather (my mother in law's dad), and Ruthie, who enjoyed grabbing her Great Grandfather's face.


Ruthie actually has three great grandparents. Isn't that amazing? She hasn't met the other two, my father in law's parents, as they live in Colorado. But hopefully someday soon!

Since we had everyone over, we also decided to get a picture of all the McCurry grandchildren.
Quite a contrast from the 14 on my side, huh? That's Rowan and Finnley, Ian's sister's kids, with Ruthie. Finnley is only 7 weeks old, so she's still working on sitting up. =) Doesn't Ruthie look so dark compared to them? I think of her as pretty fair, but she's got nothing on them!
