Hi all! I just wanted to share some photos that were taken yesterday when Maya, my dad, Pat and I visited my dad's grandma (who we call Gam). I have really been wanting to take Maya to meet her great-great grandma and I'm so glad that we finally made it over to see her. She is 94 years old and is doing relatively well although her memory is starting to fade a little bit. Although she didn't like the way that I spelled Maya's name (she thinks it should be Mya), she did tell me a few times that I did a good job and made a beautiful baby. I have to agree with her.
Aside from seeing Gam, I have always enjoyed going to her house because she still has so many of the things there from when I was a little girl. (She also has a lot of things from when my dad and my grandma were both kids.) When I was young my favorite thing at her house was her 1970's lava lamp. She turned it on for me again today after I told her how much I loved it as a little girl.

I'm so happy that we got these pictures. |

Maya was so sweet, like usual, and so curious. |
 |
I was watching closely to make sure Maya didn't pinch Gam. Maya loves to grab mouths. |

"You should have named her Verbena." - Gam, whose name is obviously Verbena. |
 |
Maya, Me, Gam, my dad. My dad is Gam's first grandchild, my brother is her first great-grandchild, but Maya is probably her 6th or 7th great-great grandchild (I'm not sure, there may be more than that). |
