(David definitely gets his sense of Humor from his Grandpa. They are 2 peas in a pod! I think this could be very close to how handsome David will look when he is old, except about a foot taller.)Both G-ma and G-pa are very sweet people. Dale always has a joke, works as a Barber for his very own Dale's Barber Shop (in his Basement) and whittles in his free time. He grew up as one of 21 kids. No, that was not a typo, 21! Dale's Mom and Dad both had 7 kids from different marriages and then they had 7 more together when they got married. Needless to say, David has no idea how many second cousins he has! We found out that he had a Grandma Lucy who was full blood Cherokee Indian. I was excited Lucy's name had family heritage, especially that of an Indian (except I'm wondering why she had such a modern name instead of howling Wolf or something...)
I love this beautiful shot of Great Grandpa Dale and Lucy. I will cherish it forever!
Here is the adorable rocking horse Grandpa made for Lucy! Grandpa and Grandma are quite the team when it comes to making things. Dale makes them and Betty paints them and makes them cute! What a special present I'm sure Lucy will truly learn to cherish (although right now all she wants to do is eat the hair. We will put it up for a little while until she is old enough to brush the hair instead!)
Playing with her Great G-Pa and her new handmade toy!
David's G-ma, on the other hand, is very caring and concerned about all her Grandchildren. She always gives us phone calls and is the first to invite us to breakfast when we are in town! She is definitely a very sweet Granny!
I was thrilled about this picture. Although Lucy isn't smiling, Betty is! I don't think I have seen a single picture of her smiling and I am going to brag forever that I got one of her!Thanks for all of your love throughout the years G-ma and G-pa! We are lucky to have you!
