I was there when they said their morning "Good-by's"
to Daddy from the window.
We read Books, Books and more Books.
(notice the laundry basket,
I put it to use in between books and other activities)

Christine, you are the grandmother I someday want to be. Such creativity and simplicity (passing on to them the joy we find in a walk, a sand box, all the things that we grew up appreciating since we had no digital distractions). These will be memories that the kids take with them all their lives.

I don't know, Christine. Maybe it's because it's late and I'm tired, but these photos made me cry. I was thinking, what a rich life, and the doll baby washing dishes ... I was remembering the fleeting season of childhood.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, my friend. Enjoy every minute.
Christine, I just love all of your pics, but the one of Levi holding your arm, well, as a grandma myself, that one just takes the cake! Thanks for sharing your
ReplyDeleteprecious memories. I'm off to read Kimmy's story...
Blessings!
I came over from Viola's blog...I so enjoyed your time with your grands...they are adoreable and you look like you do the same things I do with mine...taking walks, baking, playing, etc. I love being a grandma too! I also enjoyed your posts about the signs...was that Woodinville, WA. My sister lived there for a few years.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to getting to know you more!
