my empty palette of a sunday turned into a wonderfully cozy day.
my grandparents stopped by just in time for a pot of curried chicken vegetable soup for lunch.
we sat by the fire.
we talked and laughed while i wound balls of yarn to turn into christmas presents.
not a day goes by that i don’t appreciate still having them both in my life. in my girl’s life.
hannah and norah are at ages now where they will most likely remember them when they are older.
my grandfather (pop) is the master carpenter who crafted the inside of my house. all of the built-ins, my kitchen, my bed.
there is a huge piece of him in every room of my home.
a big reason why i can never leave this place.

Your grandparents are the cutest! And his hat- my husband has one just like it … it’s such a classic look. I lost 3 of my grandparents at such an early age; I knew them, but have wished so many times to have been able to ask them so many questions. What a gift you have with them in your life!

oh amy, that is so special. i only have one grandparent left and i miss the others so deeply. i hope he (and my two grandparent-in-laws) are still around for a while when we have children. what a gift.

you are a very blessed lady – I’d lost all my grandparents by the time I was 26, and not a day passes that I don’t miss them. So thankful that at least one of them got to meet my son {and that we took photos of that visit}.
i wouldn’t be able to leave that home, either. ๐ i adore your grandfather’s sweatervest & hat!

Such a beautiful post about your grandparents ๐ I grew up right next door to mine and were closer to them than my own parents. My boys were lucky to have them in their lives long enough to remember them and have many special memories of them…..you are truly blessed : )
