I woke up this morning and lying in the bed next to me were three of the most beautiful children in the world, my Grandchildren. They love spending the night with us and I usually just go ahead and have all three come and stay at the same time. Jesse is 9 and tends to be the more sensitive one of the group, while Macy who is age 6 is the class clown of the group and Cole who is also 6 tends to be the loner of the group. Now by that I mean, give Cole a transformer and you don't see him for hours. How he ever takes those things apart and then puts them back together again is a mystery to me. Jesse and Macy play well together, they have their moments and really remind me of when their Moms were little. Play a little...fuss a little.
I love being a Grammy to these kids, I use to think I could never love anything like I did their Moms, but I have been proven wrong. The love a Grandmother has for her Grandchildren is indeed priceless. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I am now older and when I was younger, I was too busy working, raising two girls and trying to be a good wife all at the same time. I am still working now and trying to be a good wife (well some of the time), but I feel like I have more time to be goofy and silly and let these three get away with a lot more than their Moms did. They definitely have a way of pulling at this Grammy's heartstrings.
Yes today has been a good day - Grandparents Day - my day. My day to do what I love best, spend it with my Grandchildren. Love you Jesse Macy and Cole to the Moon and Back!
There is no better place to lull the day away, then to spend time with an old friend sitting on the front porch enjoying memories, thoughts and ponderings. I pray that as you peek through my Picket Fence that you will be blessed and may you always find peace from God. This blog is dedicated to my Children and Grandchildren, I pray that the memories and the ponderings I post here will inspire and encourage you and even make you laugh a little.
