Four Generations

This weekend we took a little surprise road trip to Chicago so that Leah Catherine could meet her Great Grandmother, Grace Catherine. Leah proved to be a very good little travel companion. The picture below is Leah with her Mom, Grandma, and Great-Grandma!

(He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING!
