Namesake

I am in love with this picture. This is my grandfather Martell Rawlings, Martell is my middle name and that is the middle name we gave to Colton as well. We found out that they were going to be in St. George last week. They do not travel much anymore and so I took a day off of work and we drove up on Tuesday to see them. We spent several hours visiting and letting them see the kids. Kira got lucky and was able to snap this picture of Colton looking up at Grandpa.
I was so lucky as a child to be able to grow up right next door to my grandma and grandpa. They have alwasy been extra special to me. It is really hard to watch them get older and every time I'm able to see them is precious to me.

Great shots. They'll be fun to look back on. I'm glad you got to go up and visit them for the day. Sounds like so much fun!

Thanks Cori, it was really nice to see them and to be able to have pictures for the kids in their scrap books.
