Our oldest granddaughter – our first grandchild – is Miss A. She is a Sophomore in high school this year. She is a strong, young woman who is fun to be with. She loves to read and I really enjoy it when we two discuss what we’re reading. I often gain a new outlook on life when we’re together – at times she challenges me to ‘get with the current century’, especially with technology! Maybe that will help me stay young!
Mr. C. is growing up so fast. He is in seventh grade this year. He loves be active – skate-boarding, riding his bike, being active in Boy Scouts and all kinds of ‘guy things’. He went hunting with my sweetheart this year and he came home with such great stories. He really enjoyed spending time with the hunters in my sweetheart’s family and learning more about camping and life in the woods.
Miss E. is in fifth grade this year. Over the last few months she has changed a lot. She’s not a little girl anymore – she’s a delightful young lady. It’s fun to be with her and enjoy her discoveries of the world around her. 
And there’s Miss H., a busy three-year-old. She is such fun to talk to. She loves to ‘help’ whenever she’s here. She likes to help in the kitchen or with yard work – it doesn’t matter, she wants to be involved. Her eyes light up whenever she sees us and when she gets to come to our house by herself, she’s absolutely delighted. I’m so glad it’s a treat she looks forward to.
When our daughter was a little girl we never guessed that she would grow up to be the mom of four kids who could possibly add so much to our lives – it was more than we could ever imagine. It always amazes me how often she tells us that ‘now’ she understands how we must have felt or why we said and did certain things. Becoming a mother has given her a whole new perspective – and a deeper appreciation for us! I think maybe we’ve grown a bit smarter than we used to be!
Our lives are full – and blessed! We’re blessed with grandkids who love us and whose lives have added so much to ours. I’m so glad God planned it that way!

Your children and grandchildren are blessed to have someone like you in their lives. I can tell from past posts that you love them all unconditionally, just like Christ loves us!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tribute to each and every grandchild. I am certainly treasuring my one and can now imagine what joy each and every one would bring to your life.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have an armful of cute grandkids! I can only look forward to having some grands some day:>)
ReplyDeleteGrandchildren are such a blessing and they are so lucky to have you in their lives and close. They will have wonderful memories of being with you to take with them into all of their lives long after you are gone. Our little three are my world as well. Such a blessing!
