Family

Gmom & Gdad

I wish I was more eloquent in my writing to explain what a great deal this couple means to our family.  Ruby and Leon (Noy Sr.) are my husband’s grandparents and have always meant the world to him.  Noy travelled all over the country with his grandparents and has the fondest memories of all the time spent with Grandmom and Granddad.  I’m amazed at all the beautiful stories from his past that include them.  I was in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area over the weekend for another shoot and had the privilege of staying with Ruby and Leon.  I poured through old albums filled with memories from years gone by in their lives.  They took me to dinner and gave me a quick tour of downtown Ft. Worth and the Stockyards.  They told me story after story of their lives growing up in this town.  It was such a special weekend to me.  Here is one of the pictures Ruby let me take home of them with my husband Noy when he was about 2.  It is one of my favorite pictures of all times.

Ruby, Leon & Noy III

Thank you Grandmom and Granddad for a wonderful visit!  It was priceless!

    Wonderful pictures, Dawn!! So glad you captured these. History and heritage are a wonderful thing given by God. So glad you were able to spend time with Noy’s grandparents, capture some wonderful photos and see pics and hear stories. I always love it when I get to spend time with my grandparents and hear their stories.
