Five Generations

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children...Psalm 128a


What a beautiful promise from the Lord! And on January 18th, this verse took on an expanded meaning...

G.G. met for the first time her great-great granddaughter...the granddaughter of her granddaughter!

The 94 year old great-great grandmother holding her 9 month old great-great granddaughter.

The 'more' of this wonderful moment is five generations were gathered together for the first time: Dorothy (Elizabeth) Shewbridge Smith, Patricia (Louise) Smith Martin, Katherine (Elizabeth) Martin Sanford, Joshua Robert Sanford, Jael Mercy Sanford.

And because it takes two...Dot (and Alton), Fred and Pat, Bob and Katherine, Josh and Jen with Jael.

Two very proud parents and one teething baby chewing on her toy carrot.

Jael Mercy once again captivating her doting family's attention with her 'idea of fun'...in this case, shoe in month, crawl across room, make everyone laugh!

A tradition begun when Joshua was born...the parting photo with G. G. (now 3 G.)...

Times to remember and yet to look forward to, for prayerfully this will be our joy one day...to see our great-great grandchildren....Jael's children's children!

To God be the glory!
Katherine (for the family)
