Grandkids Make Me Happy

C-GIRL
Friends as cute as friends can be.

Down the hill with shouts of glee.

Make a chain and holler, "Whee!"

B-BOY
Catch a ride, then holler, "Whoa!"

(He's a gunslinger, you know.)

A real tough guy, as tough guys go.

J-MAN
Make each climb on eager feet.

Bag a salamander. Neat!

Holler "Victory." (It's sweet!)

GRANDKIDS...
make my life complete.

    That looks like a whole lot of fun. My mom is actually here visiting right now- so I love seeing a grandmother's perspective on grandchildren. It's so sweet!

    Awesome thoughts and pictures of your adorable grandchildren. Life is so wonderful when you can be with a grandchild. I have only one family that is near enough for frequent visits. I love your poetry.
    Your book helped me again with a daughter who is struggling with anxiety and slight depression. The chapter was Overcoming: Fear Not, For Joy Cometh In The Morning.
    It was an answer to prayer. This is amazing!
    Blessings and hugs for you! LeAnn

    How sweet are they?! What great photos and such a sweet poem to go with them. I love my own grandkiddos and get so much joy out of watching them grow and change. The little pleasures that make life complete.

    Love those pictures of the grandchildren. The only problem is that they grow up too fast. I'll be happy when some more of them come along. If only the rest of the group would get busy. Karin needs to adopt, Ryan needs to get married, Ditto Todd, although I'm sure he feels that Med School needs to come first. (Still there are a great many medical students who marry and let their wives help support them.) Oh well, in the meantime we still have those three darling ones to enjoy. I'm looking forward to seeing them soon on our "family meets Stacy" weekend.

    Aren't children wonderful? Boys with their stick guns and girls with their bonding even on a sledding hill. You are rich beyond any monetary wealth.

    Oh yes, grandparenting is the 2nd best thing next to parenting. But I have to admit, I have time to totally enjoy the grandkids more. I was too busy when I was doing 24/7 parenting.
