A weekend with family in Texas

Beli chasing geese.
now, peacefully walking side by side


After a year of being absent, we have returned to Texas to visit my maternal grandparents. Beli was two years old when we last visited and I'm not sure how much she remembered from that previous trip but I can tell you she bonded right away with her Great grandparents. Although I referred to her as Abuelita, Beli preferred to call her Granma.

Two days was not enough time to visit everyone, but we did see all of my Mom's five brothers and one sister, and many first and second cousins. It was a very memorable weekend.
Beli with her second cousin. He is only a few weeks old.
Only my Mom is missing to complete this 4 generations photo.

  3. Grandparents are the touchstone to our past. Beli may not remember anything...but the love. :-) But that she will remember 'well'!
