So happy together!
Elena, Dale, Jen, Dolci, and Sally
I wanted to get some pictures posted of my grandmother's visit to Cincinnati to meet Elena. She turned 100 earlier this year and I'm amazed how well she gets around with very little help from others. She flew all the way from Naples FL to see Elena. Turns out she has 2 great grandsons (my cousin Lisa's kids - both around 10 yrs old) but did not have a great granddaughter until now.
She enjoyed holding Elena and singing to her and Elena seemed very content in her arms. Elena was able to see her great grandmother 3 times while she was in town (fortunately avoiding the tropical storm Fay that was hitting Naples during her visit here).
It was hard to get everyone to look good in ALL the pictures, so I picked the ones that were the best of what I had, so don't laugh. Try getting a 4½ month old to look at the camera AND 3 other people to smile simultaneously. A demanding task for even the best photographer! :)
Our visit ended with a rather tearful goodbye because at the age of 100 my grandmother confessed to Elena that she didn't know if she would see her again, but she would try. Even I was trying to hold back a tear or two. (Jen and I will have to do our best to make it down to Naples sometime this year or early next.)
On a lighter note, I'll have to post another entry soon because I have some fun and cute pictures of Elena with her cousins Lucas and Isabella from our trip to Akron last weekend.
Hope everyone is well and wish my grandmother and aunt a safe flight back to Florida.
