Great Grandma Catherine goes to Indiana






This past Sun. - Tuesday, Kathleen and I journeyed to the northern suburbs of Indianapolis with Great Grandma K. (Catherine). She stayed overnight with the very gracious Dave, Jodie, & Emma Allenson who now live only 9.3 miles and 16.2 minutes from Aaron and Kara. In a metro area, that's considered "close"! We stayed with Aaron's and the 3 grandboys, but Grandma got to go shopping and sightseeing with Jodie on a gorgeous Monday and also got to see the homes and kids of 2 of her grandchildren (Jodie & Aaron). We all enjoyed our time together immensely.
The pictures show the Allenson family in their beautiful "new" home, Grandma with the Klop boys, Grandma with Aaron & Kara. And, I could not resist putting on a picture of little "always-smiling" Cooper, age 1.5

Great pictures. Sounds like a good trip and so nice Catherine was able to go.

I'm sure it really meant a lot to Catherine to have some time with the children (and their parents.) These opportunities are so special. Thanks for wonderful pictures, Cleve.
