Great Grandparents




One of the greatest things about the three weeks we spent in Utah in September was that Liam was able to meet three of his great grandparents!

Liam got to spend some quality time with his Great Grandparents Rudd and Great Grandma Menlove. I really value the relationships I was able to have with my great grandparents growing up. I was blessed to have great relationships with four of my great grandparents until my sophomore year in high school and my great grandma Hansen until after my senior year of high school.

My Great Grandma Keetch loved us all so much. She was a master seamstress and made us dresses several times a year. I didn't have a store-bought dress until I was in seventh grade. I have fond memories of going to visit my Great Grandpa Rudd at the nursing home for dances and holiday parties. I could (and probably should) write a book of all of my memories of my Great Grandma Hansen - I was blessed to spend a lot of time with her listening and learning.

I hope Liam gets to know all of his great grandparents (he still has one more to meet!) so that he can learn from them and bask in their love.

What sweet pictures! How lucky Liam is to spend time with his grandparents. Thanks for sharing these sweet moments with all of us. You are blessed to have a long relationship with some of your great-grandparents, especially Grandma Hansen. I would love you hear more about your memories. You should definitely write them down!
