It's complicated!

Soren, 5 years, reading with Grandma.

Soren was asking family questions today, like who's the daddy of Daddy, and who is his daddy? So if so and so is Daddy's daddy, then who in the world is that other guy?
Lars and I have somewhat complicated family trees. Until recently, we each had our grandparents still living as well. When Petra was born, she had a full-set of great-grandparents.
Today's lesson was geneology and exploring the modern phenonom of blended families, it's complicated. We made a pictorial.
Petra, Soren and Annike working on the family tree.

The finished product.

Yes, blended families can be quite confusing. Best of luck explaining. LOVE the new house! Can't wait to see more photos.

Coming from divorced parents can complicate the lives of our own children, but luckily for us it's worked out well. Ayden and Jameson are so lucky to have 3 wonderful sets of grandparents who love them so very much. I too can't wait to see more pictures of your new house!!!

As we certainly know at our house, children can never have too many people to love them! [electronic smiley face]. Kj & Co
