I got to spend a day this week visiting with my grandparents and looking back through hundreds and hundreds of old photos. ❤️ We still have so many more to go through, but it was such a special time getting to see everyone through the years, hear the stories behind the pictures, and start helping organize all of those memories.
One thing that absolutely blew me away was seeing just how much Elizabeth looks like me. 🥹
I was seven months old in this photo, and Elizabeth is seven months old now. Aside from the red hair and blue eyes there’s so many of her little facial features that the resemblance is almost unbelievable.
There’s just something special about slowing down, looking back, and seeing pieces of yourself and your family carried on through the next generation. These old photographs are more than just pictures—they’re little pieces of our family’s story, and I’m so thankful we get to preserve them. 🤎
One of the sweetest parts of homestead life is remembering where we came from while watching the next generation grow right in front of us. 🌾
