Cheese!

It's been a joy to have one daughter and her family living closer to us; we get to see Ashton more often now! He's hit the age where he likes to smile for a photo and then he wants to see to see the back of the camera before the picture disappears.

A few of you have asked how Ken and I have been...you can see what makes us the happiest these days!

Growing up fast! Very cute grandson, aww!

[Anita Campbell]

Cute picture. Needs to be blown up and framed!!! Where did your daughter's family move to?

[Louise & Ken]

@aglennc They live in the Santa Barbara area, so it's only a train ride or reasonable drive away. Guess how much better they like the weather than when they were in Chicago!

Cute

[Margaret Tryon]

What a sweetheart.

[Ellen E]

just darling!

[Peggy Sirk]

Absolutely adorable!! My how Ashton has grown! That smile is too precious. :)

[Rick Schies]

I am amazed at how much this young man has grown, and handsome. His smile says it all Louise, and yes, I know how the kids love to see the back of the camera. It is awesome being a Grandparent.

So great to see some familiar names still here! I post a pic once in a long while just to make sure my account doesn't get closed down, but just wanted to say "hi". I thought of you today as I was looking through all my photos that were tagged with "heart" and found this old photo I posted here during my project - http://365project.org/lintbrush/365/2010-04-28. Made me smile and think about the great experience I had here oh so long ago. Take good care and Happy Valentine's Day to you (and other familiar names above @dmrams @mrssmith @digitalrn @peggysirk @ellen )

[Matt M (lintbrush)]

Oh, and Ashton is too cute! Fun age. You can tell he's a happy little dude!

[Lois P]

My how Ashton had grown. Time has sure flown. He must be a delight to have come to visit.

[Allison Williams]

What a handsome young man, not the baby I last remember seeing. Thanks for stopping by and checking in periodically. How lucky you are to have this branch of your family nearby.

[Dora Prokosh]

So nice to see you here Louise. Hope you are keeping well. How exciting to have your family close by and get to see Ashton more often. Ken snd I are currently in Arizona and heading back to the winter on Saturday. Are you heading east again for the summer.
