Family Ties

In honor of Mother's Day, Father's Day, and all the other days celebrating families, here are some recent pictures of Thomas with his grandparents--and great grandparent! These pictures document a lot of "firsts" for Thomas too--first time wearing sunglasses, first time in a swing (AND on a swinging bridge), first time in the sand, and first time in a pool!

Sha la la la....
