I answered the knock at our front door and he came barreling right in yelling “Grandma, Grandma – I’m Spiderman!!!” There he was, my two year old grandson with a Spiderman mask on his face and a Disney Cars backpack on his back. He ran in the door all wide-eyed and full of excitement pretending […]
My two year old grandson came barreling in the door of the house calling out “Grandma…Grandma” as he ran over to me to give me a hug. I’m telling ya….that is seriously just about THE GREATEST thing in the entire world! As I sat with him playing it made me long for the days when […]
I was reading unopened emails in my inbox when I came across one from my daughter-in-law Alexis where she had written a guest blog post for me to be able to use on a day I was busy and needed help. Given that she’d sent the unopened email to me clear back on June 6th […]
Memorial weekend we were moving my son and his wife and child out of their condo and into their new home, and moving my daughter and her husband out of their apartment and into a new one when, in the midst of moving both of them, we got a call letting us know that my […]
Several months ago the day after we’d spent time together as a family (with my two kids and their spouses and our grandbaby) my husband said, “I think we are going to be grandparents again.” “Of course we will be” I replied with certainty given all the incentives I’ve thrown out to bribe my children […]
Today I learned why it’s really important to make sure you word your prayers right the first time. After spending three days in the hospital with my flu-stricken grandbaby last weekend into Monday, and having the doctors and nurses tell me that there was about a 100% chance I’d end up sick myself I got […]
For the last nine years I haven’t missed a single daily blog post so I didn’t want to skip posting tonight but my post is just going to be a post to explain why it has to be extremely short today. My son and his wife had plans to be out of town for the […]
Tonight definitely wasn’t my first rodeo, but it was my grandbaby’s first rodeo and it was so much fun to be able to watch him as he watched his first rodeo. He was totally smitten watching all the cowboys ride their horses and the bulls. I personally love rodeos. I’ve been going to them for […]
I can hardly believe that 2017 is almost over. This past year has held some of the happiest moments of life, and truth be told, it has also held many of the saddest moments of my life. Without a doubt it is a year I will be happy to have come to a close as […]
“Life becomes more meaningful when you realize the simple fact that you’ll never get the same moment twice.” When my daughter-in-law came to drop off my adorable grandbaby this morning so I could babysit him for her while she went to work and I saw her lugging in the car seat and diaper back and […]
Today we saw an awe inspiring eclipse take place…last Friday I saw the miracle of my new little grandbaby being born into this world… Miracles are happening every day and they are happening all around the world…we just have to recognize them. “Miracles happen every day, change your perception of what a miracle is and […]
Keeping exciting news a secret is not something I enjoy. When I buy someone a gift it’s all I can do not to tell them the moment I buy it. It makes keeping Christmas presents a surprise incredibly difficult. But today I am proud of myself because for the last two months I have been […]
