Oooooooh, I LOVE THIS! SOOO COOL! The first picture of Great Grandma(Ritta), is awesome. You can tell it's her, even with how young she is there! And I love the pictures of Grandma Marie...oh what a gem she is. What a legacy she passed down of how to be a strong, gentle,godly woman. And that's how I see your Mama, and my Mama also! And that's how I want to be! And can I just say, I think our Mama's look SO beautiful for having just given birth, in those pictures!! :-) I remember those dresses that my Mama made for all three of us! I thought I looked so pretty! Hee! You did an awesome job, Cous!! Looking forward to more posts! Love U!
