Shoot Me!: 16

Another great meme brought to us by Carin at Forever In Blue Jeans. Every Thursday post a picture of you with a child, spouse, friend or even by yourself. If you are thinking this challenge is too hard, then this is exactly the challenge you need. Do you have thousands of pictures and you are in none of them? How is that good to your children or loved ones? It’s time you got in the picture, you’ll be glad you did!

As most of you know, we were in FL to visit David's family last week. Pretty nice place for the In-Laws to live! Makes for great traveling! We all stayed in a condo on St. Augustine Beach. St. Augustine is where we lived after we got married and where we brought home our first baby. So many precious memories there! But...this is about people in our lives, not places we've lived so I'll save the rest of that for later. ;) Meet Abuelo y Abuela. David's maternal grandparents. I love these two like they are my own grandparents. They immigrated to the United States from Cuba when they were in their 30's - LEGALLY I might add. What a story they share. Abuela took care of David while his parents worked when he was a baby/young boy. She didn't speak English at the time so Spanish was the only language spoken in their home then. David became her interpreter at age 2! ;) I guess you could say English and Spanish both are David’s first language. Those two still have a very special relationship. I'm so thankful to Abuela y Abuelo for their important part in David's life. We love you two more than you know!

Between you and Heather over at Moments as Mom I have some beach envy! Chug is coming up so I can get things straightened out there. :)

Dearest Friend,
Can we borrow your relations in FLA so we can go visit? Also, do you think they would agree to help raise MY children so they can be bilingual? No? okay... I was just checking.

Glad you had special times on your visit.
Love,

dear Travel~people~memories,

I remember you telling us about Davids' special grand~people when we were at your house. How lovely you got to go be with them 'on the beach'. I am thinking you probably have some wonderful shots of your little people with them as well?!

love,
The loving 'Grands' are people we cherish (mostly all in memory for me now)
