The world lost a dear man today. Great-grampa Fuji to the kids, Grampa Fuji, Wendell. He loved his grandkids and great-grandkids, and appreciated getting pictures of them all. He will be missed.

Looking through the pictures for this one of Wendell made me nostalgic, so I can’t help but put in a few of the big two’s baby pictures…

This one is Henry at about 8 months old. He was a happy, laid-back baby, just like Essie is now.

This is Henry at, I believe, 7 months. These are the pictures I especially love: sunshine, bright green grass, and a baby. Here’s Ivy at one year…

Both of them have always loved the water, but Ivy sometimes takes a little longer to get into the splashing fun.

Here’s proof that Henry has always loved dressing up…

And a few more that I couldn’t resist…

I suppose it wouldn’t be fair to leave out Essie, even though her baby pictures have been posted before, so here you go, E-Belle!
