I’ve spent much time these last several years absorbed in past generations of my family, but frankly nothing is as rewarding as spending time with the four present generations of my family—from my parents to my grandsons.  Having all four generations together for a week—eating, playing, laughing, and even arguing with each other—was wonderful.  Here are a few photographs, almost all courtesy of my son-in-law Brian and my cousin Jody.

Four generations

Now I am energized to dive back once again into the past so that I can preserve the family’s history for the next four generations.
