Isn't this a wonderful picture? I love my grandfather! The day before I flew out I picked up his life story and became completely engrossed (this made for a very late packing frenzy). I love the story of how he met and fell in love with my grandmother. This line I think sums it all up, " We both wanted a large family, and we made this prediction: A crazy boy marries a crazy girl and they have a dozen crazy children."He recieved a PhD in "Radiation Biology" so it was amusing to read his tales of late night experiments with fish. I kept tracking down Seth in the house to read different parts of his story that seemed very applicable to his/our siutation:) They made it through school with kids, we will too!
She's going to be a mom! I'm so excited for Donna and Bevin and for this new adventure in their lives! Lucy and Anna/Gwen are going to be little cousin buddies. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of a huge belly but none such excited. Just a cute little ball. Stinkin' willowy sisters....they hide those babies so well.
I will be a new aunt X 3 in the next few months!
The Ackerson Girls (missing Monica)
Lucy did well on her second cross country trip. I prayed hard for a miracle but she remained a clingy mamas girl. Poor Grandpa heard an earfull when I ran to Walmart with my mom for a few minutes.
I tried to let her crawl as much as possible during our layover. She wouldn't go back in the stroller to go down the jetway to the plane so she happily crawled down.
The Thackers joined us for Sunday Dinner and we ate the best homemade ice-cream ever, thanks Mike!
There was true joy in our home with our return. Matthew and Lucy couldn't get enough of each other! Don't worry Utah, we'll be back in December!

so jealous! That picture of Grandpa brought me to tears. Donna is a cute prego.
So glad to see you- even if it was just for a little bit. Love all your blog updates- I sure miss those kiddos. Can't wait for next week!
Looks like a trip well worth it. Great Pics :)
