Four generations

Today my mother made the first half of her journey here, landing in Spokane to be with brother Matthew and the Idaho family for the next week before arriving here in Anchorage. I am smiling to think that the oldest member of our family (Mom turned 80 on August 20) is meeting the youngest member of our family (her great-grandson Zachary, born August 29).

Oh, and yes, I did ask for photographic evidence of this alleged baby, and Matthew gave me the hospital pic - apparently mom Kaci has been too occupied to email pictures? What's up with that?

And speaking of air travel, I am now officially a big fan of wheelchair escort. It has relieved my mind so much both in sending Mom back from Anchorage to Harrisburg in January, and now on these two return trips west, to know that she is getting gate-to-gate service. Given enough time, I have no doubt that she could do it on her own, but I am just glad to know that it's up to the airlines to make her gate connections for her instead.
