Connections to Ancestors

Evie has started helping more with getting her lunch ready in the morning and Sunday we decided to meal prep together so she put her snacks in her containers for the week.  She is so gorgeous!


Grandma Jeanne has been in the hospital since Labor Day and my dad told me that when he picked Evie up this week, she said to him, It's nice to have a great grandmother that I'll remember.  And that reminded him and my mom that when they went to eat for grandparents' day at school this week, Evie remarked that she had a great-grandmother who is 89 and a great-grandfather who would have been 101.  She was referring to my mom's dad, Pappaw, but that's also true of Grandpa Mayne.  Both of them were born in 1918.  It's amazing to me how she feels such a connection to her ancestors she's never met.

Evie was brave enough to join me in my workout last night and we had a really good time together.  I am trying very hard to be a good role model for her.
