family

My son's leave came through and he and his wife and boys have been with us now for almost three weeks. It has been very satisfying to have all of my grandchildren in the same place. I took Johnny to Build a Bear and he got a boy horse. I am trying to make this a tradition with each grandchild when they are around two. Alex has warmed up to us and all the ladies at church. I believe this has been a good visit. I am sure they are ready to go home. Vacations are nice, but it is so nice to be home.

We took a picture at church of all five grandbabies. They are all so different and yet alike. Two year old Emma, the oldest, is a stinker. She is so adorable that when she is naughty I have a hard time not smirking. The next in line is Johnny. He is almost two. He has the most adorable smile surrounded by two of the deepest dimples I have ever seen. Alex, Johnny's brother is next. He looks just like his big brother, except that he has much less hair. The top part of his hair is long and the side parts are still trying to catch up. He has the cutest squeal! Chelsea is one month younger than Alex. She is so delicate. Her most outstanding feature is her long eyelashes. She is a very happy little girl. Last, but not least, is Juddson. he is the last one thus far, but definitely the biggest!!! He is so laid back it is comical at times. He is like a baby trapped inside a man's body! He is so fat he is almost edible!!

That is my list of grandchildren thus far. I love every one of them so much. I have always wanted to have my grandchildren around me. Then we moved to Canada, the kids got married, moved back to the States, and I was resigned to the fact that I would only see them maybe once a year.
Now, my wonderful Savior has brought three of them to me and allowed me to have the other two here for three weeks! I am truly blessed!
