That is a beautiful photo! Our grandmas are so beautiful. Ah, my heart swells with love for my sweet, sweet Elaine.

I don't suppose I ever told you this, but at your wedding there were so many things that struck me as perfection. Playing favorites from The Sound of Music while walking down the isle (you're a girl after my own heart!) and most memorably, when you gave your bouquet to your grandma. I nearly fell apart. We're so blessed to have women like the ones we do in our lives. Someday (someday...) when I get married, I might have to borrow that idea from you - if that's alright. ;)

Awww, these are great pictures! I love going through my family pictures too. And three cheers for strong women in the family! I come from a long line of headstrong women, starting with my great great great grandmother who eloped and ran away from Ireland to America to become a piano teacher.

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
