Four Generations Converge

Earlier today we arrived in Salem, NH, where most of Fiona's maternal grandfather's (aka. Boom's) family lives. Fiona met her Great-Aunt Joyce.

Then she met her Great-Grandma Caroline. This was a very special moment. Fiona's middle name is Caroline, after this Great-Grandma. Great-Grandma Caroline is amazing, and we hope Fiona will grow up to have many of her traits. For example, she just turned 90 years old, but still lives independently and even volunteers weekly at the local soup kitchen. When we arrived, being a proper Italian grandma, she went to work cooking up a huge feast of chicken cacciatore. Fiona and Great-Grandma Caroline seem to have already begun a nice relationship.Of course, Fiona's grandparents were thrilled to see her as well, having been separated from her for a whopping 5 days. Boom treated Fiona to her first shoulder ride. We suspect that she enjoyed it, after she recovered from the shock of suddenly being the tallest in the room.
