Generations

August was a month of new faces for Anastyn. At the beginning of the month Grandma, Great-Grandma (84 years young!), and their friend Roseanne flew out from Pennsylvania to meet the babies. It's such a special thing for generations to meet and pass the torch. 1923...1951...1979...2007. (Hey, that's the first time I've noticed we all had our babies at age 28!)



















Then at the end of the month, my cousin Julia Rose visited from DC, and my cousin Kristin visited from England. It was the first time the four Wolfe cousins had been in the same place since our grandfather passed eight years ago. Since, of the Wolfe grandkids, Benjamin and I are the first to kick off the next generation, this was the dawn of a new era of Wolfe get-togethers with kids. "Aunt Julia" (as we dubbed her) stayed in Nor-Cal for a few days and her west coast clan took turns showing her around. On our turn, we took her to San Francisco's Pier 39 and to Santa Cruz.

Highlights for Anastyn:

• watching the sea lions at Pier 39
• exploring under the table at Bubba Gump Shrimp
• seeing the pretty lights on the Fireball ride on the Santa Cruz boardwalk

Julia.... the sea lions.... peekaboo under the table at Bubba Gump Shrimp... the Fireball!

Highlights for Andrew:

• watching the sea lions at Pier 39
• enjoying a beautiful panoramic bay view from Bubba Gump Shrimp
• getting so sick on the Fireball ride that he vowed never to do something so stupid ever again
