Our Four Grandchildren!

Many have asked me when I was going to post some pictures of our grandchildren. "Soon, I promise," I kept saying. So here you are. I've finally posted a few of my favorites.


Misha, Elijah and Ella Pelikan are the children of our first son, Jesse, and his lovely wife Elina.



Our newest addition, 1-year-old "bella" Ella

 A grandmother is a mother who has a second chance.

Ella's big sister, 5-year-old Misha





Handsome 3-year-old Elijah







Pretty Cousin Karis

 Karis was the little girl we had always hoped for. She is our first grandchild and a little girl, at that, after having two boys. It was so exciting! She is the daughter of our youngest son, John, and his wonderful wife Rondi.
Karis captured all of our hearts!





 6-year-old Karis



Grandmothers are just "antique" little girls.

-- Author Unknown



More like sisters than cousins!

If nothing is going well, call your grandmother. 

-- Italian Proverb







Misha with her brother Elijah













Christmas Cousins



It's impossible to describe what it's like being away from these little love-bugs, but we are missing them more and more with each passing day. We are storing up hugs and kisses for them and the next time we see all 4 if them, it will take days and days before we unload them all from our hearts!

Love, love, love, Mimi & Papa
