Adorable baby pictures with grandma.
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvette. I think of her constantly. Such a sweet lady.
ReplyDeleteStunningly beautiful photos of a very happy and proud grandmother. Thanks for sharing... "warms the cockles of my heart" :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.

DeleteCharming pictures of your grandmother with the grandchildren. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda!
