i heart faces: family


The theme for this week at i heart faces is family...I took this photo of my Grandma Ruth meeting her great-granddaughter (Lillie Ruth) for the first time. I've had 2 more children since this was taken (we've had a busy 3 years), but this photo is special to me. My grandma's health has failed recently and she is less able to enjoy the little ones. She has always loved babies and despite years of working as a nanny, she always says to me "Am I holding her okay?"...

I took this photo before I had a digital camera...I kind of wish it was in sepia (there is just something special about deep wrinkles and sepia tones), but it's sentimental nonetheless.
