My big sis (aka Bubbie) kisses Maddie.
My main reason for visiting Chicago always is to see my mom. But there was an added bonus for last weekend’s trip: I got to spend time with my big sis and her #1 daughter Becky’s family.
Kate has fun on the floor.
Last year Becky and her husband, Ken, hauled baby Kate from Seattle to the midwest to introduce her to family and friends.
Such a cute family!
This time it was six-month-old Maddie’s turn. Kate and Maddie are Irish twins, both having been born in 2011 (Kate in early January and Madds in late December). Becky and Ken literally have their hands full—especially when Ken’s five-year-old daughter Lily is added to the merry mix.
Four generations together: My mom, my big sis, Becky, and the two darlings.
The event was at Giordano’s, a great pizza place. I got to visit with my relatives (always a treat) and admire my two gorgeous great-nieces.
A little girl talk among the generations
Meeting her new great-granddaughter was so special for my mom. She and Becky—her first grandchild—enjoy a wonderful bond.
Great-grandma and great-granddaughter
And now that strong link continues to the much-younger (albeit sleepy) generation.
Welcome to the family, Maddie!
