I’ve really fallen behind on posting to the blog. Bad Amy! There have been a lot of exciting things happening so I’ll post a couple of posts over the next few days to bring you all up to speed.

Last week we (Taylor, Josh, and I) took a trip up to CT/MA/RI to do the family tour. Taylor got to meet a lot of people:

From the Feierman/Frost Side: Nana & Grampy (Granna was there too)

From the Roy/Carlon Side:  Great Grammy Cookie, Great Aunt Ann, Great Aunt Carolyn, Great Aunt Bobo, Cousins Kara & Ada, Great Great Aunt Pat, Great Great Uncle Paul, Great Great Uncle Gordon, Great Great Aunt Carol, Mor-Mor-Far (?), Great Great Grandma Carlson. (Gramzee, Gramps and Tante were there too)

We didn’t meet everyone all at once. That would have been slightly overwhelming for everyone.  Instead we spread it out over 4 days and met small groups on each day.

While all of the relatives are special to Taylor’s life only one helps complete 5 living generations – Great Great Grandma Carlson (mormors farmor in Swedish – I think). She is my mother’s father’s mother. She is 105 years old and will be 106 coming up on August 17. She was very excited to meet Taylor. Below is a picture of the 5 generations:

Top Row (l-r) Arnold Carlson (Mor-Far to me), Marji Roy (my Mom)

Bottom Row (l-r) Elsa Carlson (Grandma Carlson to me), Taylor & Me

Of course Taylor won’t remember this meeting, but we have the picture as proof. Maybe he’ll write about it as a 5th grade history project.
