The last time my parents visited I thought it would be fun to do a 4 generation girl photo. Meredith and Melissa are my daughters. Meredith's daughters are Katelyn, Emily and Madison. Melissa's daughter is Sofie.

Standing~my mom (on left) and me
Sitting~Emily (4 1/2) Meredith, Madison (3) Melissa, Sofie (10 months) and Katelyn (almost 6)

Just wanted to share with you~I think my mom looks awesome to be a great grandmother!!!

This is just a wonderful photo, Marcia - the kind of one that should be enlarged and framed. Your Mom looks great, but, wow, you don't look like you should have so many grandchildren!!! (I love the folded quilt on the back of the couch, too :lol: )

WOW All you ladies look so young ! I would never have guessed about the 4 generations ...all are looking good :lol:

Thanks Ducky--the quilt is a flannel Yellow Brick Road that I made years ago--it is a favorite in the winter to cuddle under while watching TV.

What a beautiful picture!! I'll bet all those lovely little girls love to play with Sophie! Little girls just seem to be drawn to babies! And what a cute baby she is! Bet you have a lively house when they are all visiting you!
How blessed you are!

Not 10, but still young. My mom was 17 when she married and had me at age 19. I married at 20 and had just turned 24 when Meredith was born. I'm not telling how old Meredith is.....

Thanks--I always forget how everyone on the board notices all the little details in pics! I should have cleaned up the kitchen before we took the pics!

You're too sweet, Loretta. Just good genes, I think. My mom's father just died last year--he was 98 and still had all his marbles. I keep telling myself I am living to be over 100 and am just now in "midlife".

But, I do eat a pretty healthy diet--lots of salads and lean meats. I also do yoga and either ride a bike or run occasionally.

That is a great picture. And what a wonderful memory. You and your mom both look too young to be a grandma and a great grandma.

Don't be silly!!! You know us quilters are fabric oriented! I didn't even notice the kitchen!!!! :D

Thanks for sharing the wonderful picture of the women in your live. What a treasure.

jacquemoe 06-06-2009 04:40 PM

What a beautiful family. Mom looks GREAT! Meredith looks about 14. Youthful looks must run in the family. You don't look old enough to be a grandmother either. Such a wonderful family.

beachlady 06-06-2009 04:57 PM

What a wonderful picture! All of the women in your family are so beautiful!! No boys?



sandpat 06-06-2009 05:08 PM

:lol: :lol: Marcia..I just jumped in and looked at the pic...I could't figure it out...your daughters looked way to young to have those babies!! I read your description and really looked again...boy...great genes DO run in your family!!!

Thanks Patti-I do think we have some pretty young looking genes and the older I get the happier I am about it!! Meredith is actually 32 and Melissa is 26. People frequently tell them that they look too young to have kids.

Thank you! And I do happen to have 2 really good looking sons too---but neither of them have been kind enough to marry and give me grandkids!!

This is our oldest son, PJ-he is 33

Awesome pictures!!!!! Is your mom really that much taller than you? I know you are 5'8", so how tall is she?

Hey, girl--been missing ya! :D

No-my mom and I are the same height-I just leaned over the loveseat some and she stood. I hadn't even noticed the difference in the pic.

mgshaw 06-06-2009 07:25 PM

Sofie just cracks me up!! In the picture you sent me the other day, she was holding her foot in it too!!! She has a foot thing going on!!! :lol: :lol:

Marcia 06-06-2009 07:34 PM

She does seem to have a foot thing--if she is not holding her foot, then she has her ankles crossed. It is sooo cute. It is hard to believe that she will be 1 in just a few weeks.


mgshaw 06-06-2009 07:53 PM

Oh Wow! Already?!!!!! What day is it??? I have it written down somewhere but well, you know how it is!!!!!!

Marcia 06-06-2009 07:57 PM

June 26th--less than 3 weeks! And they are having her baptized next Sat (the 13th)-I will send you a pic of that too

mgshaw 06-06-2009 07:59 PM

Cool cant wait!!!!! I remember now, cause that is my oldest brothers BDay!!!! Maybe Shyla will have her baby then too!!!! :D

Janstar 06-06-2009 08:25 PM

Great looking family Marcia!

tigerlily11 06-11-2009 12:55 PM

Priceless photo. In years to come you will treasure this captured moment in time even more than you do now. How blessed you are.
