Meeting the Great-Grandmother

Little Vivs was named for her great-grandmothers.  Today she got to meet the original Vivian for the first time.  It was love at first sight.  Lots of smiles on both sides, which was sweet to see.  Now we just need my dad here to take some 4 generation pictures!  :)

Three generations!  (And, yes, I have started WW to get the baby weight off.  Ugh...)

 Love this shot

 I also love this generational shot taken by Daniel

Family is coming to visit!

Why is it that I start freaking out about the cleanliness of my house when my parents are coming to visit? I think there is something ingrained in us as children (probably only female children) that kicks in, as if our mothers are going to walk in with a white glove and do a spot check to see if our house is "clean enough." Of course, my parents have reassured me that they don't care how clean or dirty my house is. But if you happen to try and call me on Thursday night, I might not be able to hear you over the vacuum cleaner.
