"What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies." ~Rudolph Giuliani

I have been with my Grandma for a few days in New York, and I have been thinking nonstop about how important family is. I have been so enjoying listening to her stories, joys, and worries about what's next. Also, hearing her speak so fondly of my sweet romantic Grandpa Max who she misses dearly, has been so wonderful and I am SO grateful to be spending this precious time with her.

Here are a few photos from two recent weddings of really lovely Grandparents who totally stole my heart, just as my Grandma Lee has=)

Rough housing with his energetic grandson=)

I love her expression. So proud and so in love with her Granddaughter.

Grandparents+technology=CUTENESS!! She was texting!

If you are lucky enough to still have your Grandparents around, give them a call, send them a love note, or if you are amazingly lucky enough to be near them-(gently) squeeze the heck out of them and tell them thank you for everything they did for you and your family.

After all...there would be no you without them.
