On August 22, Chels, Carsten, Mom, Variah and I visited my Grandpa Burningham so he could meet the newest great grandkids. His wife is my grandma Ann that passed away at the end of September. Variah's middle name is Ann after her.
4 generations (it was grandpa's idea to get this picture)

Under the piano in the family room my grandma had this dog. It has been around as long as I can remember. I wanted to take a picture of Variah with something of Grandma Ann's that reminded me of her. This was one of the first things I thought of.
It looks like Variah is smelling something stinky from the dog
She just kept making faces the whole time! Oh well I still think she's a cutie :)
I'm glad we were able to visit grandpa. He was really cute with the babies and talked about them exercising through crying. I thought that was a really good way to look at things! He told us about when he first met my grandma Jane, his first wife, and how they started dating. He decided to take an institute class to meet girls. Grandma Jane was in his class and he would give her rides home from the class and finally asked her out. He said he always made sure to have another date planned so he could ask her out for another date at the end of one. Smart man! He also told us how he got set up with my Grandma Ann after Grandma Jane died. Grandma Jane's brother, who was his bishop, set them up. I guess you know you're okay to date again if your wife's brother sets you up!
We learned lots from Grandpa and had a good visit.
