Meet the Grandparents!

On a sunny week in BC...Nannie & Grampa Leavers arrived to meet their 8th grandchild....baby Gracie! Nannie looking smart holding her namesake....both now sport Isabel as a middle name! Lots of smiles to go around. Grampa sharing a story about 'years ago' with his newest granddaughter. Gracie is either sleepy or bored! Gracie must have liked the story cuz she stayed awake after all! Charlie joins in to make it a complete picture. Hey Grampa...smile, Daddy's gonna shoot! Nannie did some yummy baking while she was here....and she got some not so fun jobs too! Nannie & Me on a trip back 150 years in time. Our pioneer storyteller made me happy I waited 148 years to be born! And Nannie & Grampa weren't the only ones Gracie got to meet this week....Great Grampa Raine was also here visiting! He and I share the Kenneth name. I think he had it first!

Four generations....Great Grampa, Grama, Mommy, Charlie & baby Gracie.

Four generations without me. Hey, why not me?

Four generations...take 3

Great Grampa looking pretty smitten with his new great granddaughter. Gracie is great grandchild #5...and I was #1 only 2 years ago. The Raine family has been busy!!

Did I mention Grampa Wallis was also home? Talk about fun!

Thanks Great Grampa for coming all the way to visit.

I forget what I am doing in this picture.

Hey Great Grampa - have I shown you my famous ham it up smile??

Great Grampa with some Gracie time.

Mommy always takes the prettiest pictures.

Grampa giving smootches as we head home for bed (or so Mommy & Daddy thought!)

Hey Grampa - if you leave your hat hangin' around - it's fair game!

Grama & Grampa checkin' out baby Gracie.

Great Grampa's friends Mr. and Mrs. Engel were here too. We sure had a great time.
