WE have two
sons, both have went thru some rough patches in their lives and have caused us
many headaches and heartaches. But today
they are good men. They are opposites but they love each other and get along.
I am enjoying my oldest son. He has his first grandson that he can see and
touch often. He lives next door. Our first grandson was brought into the family.
A cute red headed boy full of life and so stinking mannerly. He came to meet us
when he was about 5yrs old I think. The first night he climbed right in bed
with Sherry and me and slept between us.
But later his
brother was born in Walter Reed. Christened: Benjamin Aaron (Named after my dad and Sherry's). Our first natural
grandson and I got to know him as a baby!
WOW, nothing like that baby-grand! I took him to work with me. Fed him,
changed him and loved him.
Now watching my son and his grand, I laugh and say, “Grandpa’s are
so silly!”
He smiles back
and says, “You are right!”
You that
have grands know exactly what I am saying.
I have enjoyed ALL of our grands. I have hung swings from the rafters of
a framed house and cut toys from the scraps.
( Me teaching Matthew Dillon to shave!)
(And the youngest, Luke, driving the motor Home, all the kids go to do that~)
We were
fortunate, they have all been well mannered good kids. NEVER a fit in a store
when I said, “No.” The toy was replaced
and they walked on. I loved it. I just had the grands on my mind. One girl and
6 boys I think. Sherece has always been
as big as Corey and Ben who were older.
We have some
wonderful GREAT GRANDS, but they belong to their Grandpas and Grandmas, I will
not usurp their position. I want the boys to enjoy their grands.
I just had ‘em
on my mind! We are hoping Ben can bring
Elsie out (from Utah) for a visit this summer.

Grands are wonderful and baby grands are truly special too! I have enjoyed the time with the wee one here. Things changed up a bit (for the good ultimately) and we won't be watching him as much, but still get to see plenty of him. We have our special routines we like to do together and of course I might be prejudiced a bit, but he is really quite smart for a 14 month old :)
betty
Spending time with the grandkids is special for sure. Sounds like you have a houseful to love.
Grandchildren are wonderful, I totally agree! Last count was 22 wonderful bundles of love. All of them are growing fast and it's been my pleasure to be able to watch them do so. We are blessed !
It is good for grandchildren to have grandparents to love and take them places. You do have good grandchildren and I enjoy being around them.
We have a dozen GrandLoves and each and every one is special in their own way. As I write, one of the grandsons is helping his grandpa build the floor for a new hunting shack. They are both in their glory. Ya gotta love the GrandLoves. Hugging them each time we see them is such a treat and the first thing I get when they walk through the door.
love n' hugs from our house to yours
aaahhh I want a grand baby! Until then, Ill just stick to being a cool aunt.
Its nice to have good kids. My daughter was a good kid too that never pitched a tantrum or acted up in the stores. Ok there was that one time she didn't want to ride in the buggy.

Maybe on account I was an only child (who, in turn, had an only child), I NEVER tire of seeing pictures of your grands! I'm struck at Josh and Stephen's resemblance to their dad!
So looking forward to the day we get to settle nearer my son and his family and, ultimately, try to make up for lost time.
