Snow Day

We finally got the snow that 

all the grandkids have been wanting all winter. 

Joy joined the fun too.

Just a few fun pictures to share.

First Steps

Remember when learning to walk? 

No, but you probably remember when each of your children did.

I'm getting the experience again with my one year old  grandson. The little red shoes are not his favorite  

but he wore them long enough to get the picture and try them out. 

Don't you love all the cheers they get when they start taking little steps.

Then we realize that they are growing up and we want everything to slow down.

Enjoy all the moments!

Ten Thousand Reasons

Life is interesting when you are baby sitting grandchildren. I'm now keeping my granddaughter and one of the grandsons a couple of times a week. They are endless bundles of energy. They learn so fast at this age and I find more time to think about what I did with my own kids and what mistakes I made with them. So, I try to do better with the grandkids. I have found that the 4 year old is learning Spanish pretty quickly watching Dora. amazing. The 11 month old is talking up a storm and nearly walking. He learns at the speed of lightning. He knows how to wave bye, bye and kiss and high five. It reminds me to always keep telling them about God and his wonderful love for them. I teach them songs at breakfast and the little one eats better if I play Matt Redman's song "Ten Thousand Reasons". I can just see him singing it one day. What could be better? The four year old sang this song to a group of ladies at the church and amazed them. They were saying, "American Idol"! It's such fun to help with the grandkids. Please enjoy this time if you have the opportunity.
