The Grand Photo Shoot

Every time my granddaughter from Florida comes for a visit, we do a photo shoot of the 4 of them together.

Most of the time that is only once a year.

This is one of my most favorite pictures of the 4 of them together.

…and this one too…because I love baseball of course…

…and this one because they are acting like themselves and my granddaughters hair is hanging in her face like she usually has it unless I or her mother make her put it back.

Can you tell that our family loves baseball and the Minnesota Twins?

…they are the sunshine in my life…

…tried to get a head shot outside…my foot got in the way…oops..IMG_2631

These 4 make my life grand.

I could not be prouder of how my daughters have raised these two sweethearts…

…and even though these 2 call me mommy, they make my life grand just the same….they are my sweethearts…

I miss those days of having the 4 of them together. I miss their noise, laughter, smiles, group hugs & kisses, their messes, our group cuddles and their sweet voices all together. It was music to my ears.

Happy Friday the 13th to all of you. Hope you and yours share some smiles together.

Until next time, hugs & love, Lori

Great looking bunch of kids! I love the Minnesota teams too when I was a kid.

There's NO way to choose a favorite, but I do especially like the one with them looking out toward the water.
