5 Generations!

A couple of weeks ago we were in Illinois for Jameson's first visit with the Keepper side of the family. He got to meet Great Aunt Lynn and Great Uncle Ken, Great Aunt Joan and Great Uncle Mike, second Cousins Letra, Jack, Matt, Katie, and Lizzie, his Great Great Aunt Elizabeth and Great Great Uncle John, and his Great Grandfather. But the most amazing and special meeting was between Jameson and his Great Great Grandfather and Adele! On Saturday we went over to Great Great Grandfather and Adele's to take a 5 generations picture. Great Great Grandfather Keepper was beaming during our visit. It was a rare and incredible event to share in and we are so blessed to have him in our lives! After the picture we headed over to Joan and Mike's to hang out and have dinner. Katie and Lizzie did a great job helping me take care of Jameson! Thanks girls! It was really special for me to see my cousins interact with Jameson the way I did with them when they were babies.

Below is the 5 generations picture and some more pictures of Jameson with the Keepper family.
