The Power of Generations

I think mostly b/c of the fact that Owen has Great-Grandparents still with us, I’ve come to understand the amazing power of generations. And respect how very awesome it is that we have time with them to share life together.  As I find myself saying over and over again…we are truly blessed. And I never want to forget a moment we have with these important members of our family and the legacy they have to share with us!  Our memories from the holidays this year are priceless.  Some of them include:

Pap taught Owen his first harmonica lesson. Owen almost made a noise with it.

Uncle Doug played my Great-Grandma Clark’s (so Owen's Great-great) piano which he has beautifully refurbished.  He played for Grandma Flo and then he showed Owen a few notes. I even got on the piano and played a few Christmas songs and Mom and I sang to Owen.

Owen was also able to enjoy time with Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma Linley during our trip to Walnut over the holidays. Owen enjoyed all the wonderful traditions we love about Grandma and Grandpa's house.  This year Grandpa passed around a picture of the family farm and told us stories about its history.  We didn't catch a picture of the picture, but hope to get one soon!
