I Was Off Being Grandma

I have been blessed with the cutest little grandson. Pictures to follow at a later post - when I get all the thousands downloaded. That is if my computer doesn't decide to hack up a hair ball during the download - or upload. Whatever.

Two weeks with that little precious. The squeaks and snuffling noises. I used to lie awake at night just to hear my little babies make noises when they were little like that. Babies are so cute. They are a lot of work also.

I was thrilled when I was asked by my daughter to spend two weeks with them after the baby was born. I may have driven them crazy but it seemed to be my job to take care of the normal everyday housework stuff while they (Mom and Dad) dedicated their time to taking care of the new baby and for Mom to get healed up.

So much was going on during this time. Thanksgiving came and went, along with a whole houseful of people. Getting caught up on all the family gossip and hearing the news of everyone's lives and events.

I spent time with my new granddaughters (13, 9, and 8) making Christmas Cookies. That was an absolute blast. Listening to them talk about their creations and what each was, then little snippets of school or friends talk would come up. We also had a paper craft time together. I absolutely could not go to their house without bringing some of my scrapbooking stuff along to indoctrinate new people with stickers. Brainwashing, I think it is called. What better way to brainwash someone with something that brings out their creativity?

I had a few moments where I went back in time, about 15 years, and the cookie making was done with all of my kids who are now grown and on their own. Doing exceptionally well at being adults I might add.

I have an awesome family and I appreciate what each of them bring to my life. Now I have a new little one that will only enrich me further.

How could one woman be so lucky?
