My Lovely Grandmother

What a week! I just spent the last few days visiting my Grandmother and some family near Boston. It was a quick ... but wonderful ... visit. My Grammy is a very special lady. She tells funny stories, LOVES sweets, and has a heart of gold. She also has an impressive amount of energy for someone her age. In fact, as our party exited the restaurant Wednesday night, she shuffled ahead of us all, right past the host. "How old is she?!" he asked us. "Ninety-seven," we answered. He shook his head in disbelief. 

Actually, Grammy is almost 98. And she's still as lovely as ever. Funny, too. And she sure does love Bella (who came along and sported a brand new black and pink fur coat ... soooo Boston).

I think I look a lot like my Grandmother. She's from Lithuania and when I look at books about the Lithuanian culture and people, I always feel like I'm looking at thousands of me (scary, I know!). (Side note: Please excuse my appearance. Some make-up and a brush would have helped, but it was a bit of a long week).



And here's my Dad and brother. He sure does look like his mother!





I love flipping through old family albums. I couldn't resist taking some snapshots of the snapshots. This first one is of my Grandmother's sister in Lithuania. It's funny, because I've been wanting to do a shoot with a Mom and her baby in a bike basket : )

I never met my Grandfather. He died before I was born. But here he is, looking very handsome. 

I've never seen my Grandmother's wedding picture before. But she had me pull it out today. She told me that it's been tucked away because she's scared someone will accidentally break it. I figured I'd see if I could get a nice gallery wrap of it so that she can hang it in her room. Man ... look at that tiny waist!

Oh boy. Now here's a polaroid! This is me and my two brothers. We're in Maine and were apparently spending some time in the sun. Where oh where did my blonde hair go?!

And my favorite shot of the day. My Grandmother is lovely. 

Tomorrow I'm off for a fun commercial shoot in NJ. I'll post some pictures soon! 

Happy Thursday!
