Grandma's house....

Growing up my Grandma had a house full of treasures. I remember the bathroom in "Phoebe's room" when it had its original green shag carpet and cabinets frozen in time full of toiletries! It was the best. Old perfume bottles, hair product, bobby pins, soaps...it was as if our mothers were in the other room teasing their hair and talking about boyfriends. My favorite! And it never got old. Each time was just as exciting. Maybe that's why I had to hold the tears back when they ripped the carpet out and cleaned out the cabinets...even at 24 years old!



Last Sunday was our first "Sunday Dinner" at Grandma's house. And Kate found herself a treasure of her own...

Grandma's Peniore set.

I used to sit and stare at this as a little girl. I loved it!

I love that Kate has a treasure at Grandma's house....

Then Joe was taking pictures because there was such great light and I realized these are the only pictures outside of the hospital of me and my baby...in fact I don't have any pictures of me and my newborns besides those beautiful just-given-birth hammered faced pictures.

Don't mind the dirty feet... these are all straight out of the camera.

Do mind Kate's "stink-eye" face. It's a regular around these parts!
