I recently road-tripped it back to Kansas City with the kids to get in some family time before the summer gets really busy. Always on my list of things to do when i'm home is to make a trip up to St Joseph, MO, where my Grandpa still lives. He is the proud patriarch of a decently sized Lucas family (my maiden name); he has 4 kids of his own, 8 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren to date!
I think these pictures are very special - there are 80-something years in between Gemma and her Great Grandpa, but they look as if they're old buddies on their first meeting.

One more thing - TODAY is my Grandpa's 88th birthday!
Happy Birthday Grandpa!
As I said on the phone earlier - I hope that when I am 88 i look and feel as good as you! Cheers to you today!
Love,
Mollie

ReplyDeleteSuch sweet pictures! Your grandpa looks mazing for 88!!
ReplyDeleteI think family/ancestry is so important! I'm sad my little one wasn't able to know his great-grandparents. These photos are awesome!
