I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Ohio visiting my family. \u00a0We visited five different sets of grandparents and great grandparents!!! \u00a0It was a whirlwind trip! \u00a0I don’t get to spend enough time with any of my family but when I realized it has been almost THREE years since I have visited with my maternal grandparents, I knew I needed to make \u00a0trip home. \u00a0My grandfather just had his knee reconstructed and my grandmother has been suffering from dementia for years. \u00a0Every time in the past I have visited, she has been having a “good” day, but I know that dementia is slowly stealing her from us and I really wanted to spend some time making some new memories with her!<\/p>\n

I am so thankful that once again, we visited while she was having a “good” day. \u00a0We laughed and had so much fun. \u00a0We had a great time there, even got stuck out on the lake when the motor died on the pontoon boat! My grandmother was having a GREAT day; we had some wonderful conversation and made some wonderful memories. She didn’t get confused or upset once during our visit! \u00a0She so enjoyed her great grandchildren and I loved watching them together. \u00a0I pulled out my camera to capture some portraits before we left. \u00a0They were casual and not planned (note the lack of matching clothing, makeup, etc) but it was more about capturing the love we share with eachother and not the “perfect” portrait. \u00a0I am so glad to have these images and will cherish them forever!<\/p>\n
