Five Generations

This past Saturday, Dad and  some of the younger kids went to go visit our Great-Grandpa Sexton to take a five generation picture with Justin and Braxton. That is very special for Braxton as not many people get to see their Great-Great-Grandpa. Grandpa Sexton was very excited to see Braxton; although he had no idea who he was.

At Thanksgiving, Dad's Aunt Jan read this poem. (At this point in time Great-Grandpa can't put names to faces, but he does at times seem to recognize a familiar face.)

Do not ask me to remember.

Don't try to make me understand.

Let me rest and know you're with me.

Kiss my cheek and hold my hand.

I'm confused beyond your concept.

I am sad and sick and lost.

All I know is that I need you

to be with me at all cost.

Do not lose your patience with me.

Do not scold or curse or cry.

I can't help the way I'm acting,

Can't be different 'though I try.

Just remember that I need you,

That the best of me is gone.

Please don't fail to stand beside me,

Love me 'til my life is done.

5 Generations

Great-Grandpa Sexton, Grandma Bergen (Delores Sexton), Dad, Justin, & Braxton

Great-Grandpa seems to be having a conversation with Braxton!

Braxton with his Grandpa's

Braxton was definitely the center of attention!

Braxton came home with Dad and the kids to spend the evening with us, while Justin and Laura went out for dinner.  Of course, we all had fun spoiling him!!!!

Ok, so how many people does it take to feed Braxton?;-) 

Braxton never has a lack of attention around here;-)

John sharing his tractor with Braxton.  Notice what John has in his hand (trailer)... he was trying to show Braxton what a tractor was really for. I don't think he ever got the idea;-)

Goofing around;-)
