Chunky Chub, Brendan just celebrated his 1st birthday. To some of you, “no biggie”, right? Well, to me, he IS a biggie. He is SUCH a blessing and I am glad that my son and daughter-in-love are his parents. He reminds me of when my red-haired boy ( Ryan, my youngest ) was this age. Smiley, inquisitive, cuddly, brown- eyed with that sideways, sparkly look, almost impish. Picture the Singing Happy Birthday scene: as all the voices around him sang the song in his honor, the expression on his face as he looked around was that of awe. Like he was thinking, “WOW, they’re all singing to ME!” I almost got teary eyed.
Autumn, his 4 year old sister is also a cuddler, also brown-eyed, also inquisitive, impish, also sparkly and is SUCH a wonderful little girl. She warms my heart.
Each GrandWonder warms my heart in a special way. They are each amazing in their own design, and they have acquired a few of their parents’ traits. I never imagined my life would be so full at this time in my life; never imagined that when I had their daddy, he’d turn around someday and bless me with his own little family.
So, I do feel better now. My weird eye problem cleared up and I am working on not focusing on the “speck” in other people’s eyes, while I dispose of the “log” in my own.

They are adorable.
Oh how precious, & blessed you are. They are such a delight huh?

Gail, they are precious! I met visitors at church this morning and in conversation asked how many grandchildren she has – 34!!! I could hardly keep my mouth from popping open!
) Imagine sharing your love with that many grandchildren! I am so grateful, as you, for the privilege to have these special little ones in our lives to love. Just a few weeks ago we celebrated our oldest grandchild’s birthday – he is 17!! Not so little anymore! I remember the first time I saw him and wonder where the time went! We have grandchildren in CO….way too far away. Sometimes it brings tears. We were to visit them in June and I praise the Lord for that privilege. Enjoy your precious ones! ~So good to hear from you again.
