We are so lucky that our children have the opportunity to know their great-grandparents. Between Josh and I, we have six grandparents still on this earth. How great is that?! It is amazing to think of the link between each generation, and the different lives that each generation have lived--our grandparents, our parents, ourselves, and our children. We have been given a legacy: the heritage of our last names, the value of family history and the knowledge of our ancestors to appreciate and honor, the opportunity to continue many loved traditions, and the teachings of life and love and truth that we have received that we will teach to our children. I am so grateful for the lives that my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents (and so on) lived! We feel proud to be a part of our Perkins and Tolman families, which includes the great last names of Perkins, Rose, Tolman, Parsons, Sorensen, Rigby, Corbett, Stockham, and many others.
