Among The Reasons Why I Love My Parents

Grandparents play such an important role, so nice that they are there for it. I know how much it's treasured with my family. We have the only grandkids, and they are loved so much by their five grandparents and four great grandparents! All a part of their lives.

what a gift to have grandparents who are so active AND to have it all documented. what an awesome thing for the kids (and you) as they grow older. :)

Amazing photos!! Thanks for sharing your family with us.

These are so moving. Thank you for sharing your stories.

the pictures tell the story that words don't even need to!

And they have (and will be) making a difference in the lives of everyone your son comes in contact with. Very touching entry. I'm glad you all have your parents.

I love these photos - anyone can go to the beach on a sunny day and take good shots - but these photos with the mystery and allure of the fog make them all the more spectacular!

Beautiful pictures. The fog is breathtaking. You are truly blessed with having such a wonderful and playful family. And Wow, your Mom has some gorgeous legs.

Gotta love family members who take pictures!!

Ali these are great photos....I especially love the last one of Simon. And I'm jealous your mom has better legs than me. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my. Wonderful photos! I love that they document their adventures.

Fog is just the best. It really can evoke such a vivid feeling of how it felt to be IN the photo.
And I hope that my legs look as great as your mom's when I'm a grandma!!! ;->
You say it so often and I will affirm it: You really are so blessed. (Wanna trade lives next go 'round? J/K!!!) LOL

amazing photographs... they capture the magic between them beautifully.

Oh that's lovely, what great grandparents!

Not only are your parents lovely and obviously a great source of love and security for you and your family, your Mom has killer gams! Lucky good genes for you! :)

I got a little teary eyed looking at this post. It made me miss my family that lives 2000 miles away.
What beautiful memories for both your parents and your children :)

I love these photo's... A lot of special memories captured...

These are beautiful! Thank the Lord for wonderful grandparents.

The pictures, but mostly, your words, brought tears to my eyes. You family (especially the children) are so very blessed. And the best part of that is that your spirit is alive and sensitive enough to know that. So many have know idea. Enjoy your weekend, Ali :)

ali, you really do have cool parents. and it's nice that they KNOW you think they're so wonderful!!
