Four Loves of My Life

I can't even put into words how much I love our four grandchildren.   Each of them is special.  Each of them I love with all of my heart.  Time spent with them is precious, and I don't know what I would do if they didn't live an hour away from us.  This doesn't mean that I am glad they don't live closer; what it means is that we know so many people whose grandchildren are HOURS away and their personal visits are few and far between. We are indeed lucky to have our four so close.  Even though the pictures are not from today, they are recent and I like them!

 

Writing about each of them would take pages and pages, so the focus will be today.

Landon - What impressed me about Landon today was his willingness to help clean up after Shelby's graduation open house.  In the kitchen he was wiping off counters.  He helped me collect salt and pepper shakers.  He looked for a dustpan for Uncle Clay.  I know he did more that I didn't see.  How many six-year-old boys would do that? Plus he is a great big brother to Owen.  He followed him around while Owen was toddling around the basketball court this morning. He kept an eye on him at the open house to be sure he didn't escape outside.






Tessa - Boots!  Boots!  Boots!  Boots!  Showing off our boots tonight!  She is a snuggler.  She likes to be read to.   My mental picture of her tonight is sitting with Shelby as she was opening her cards and gifts.  She is a great cousin to Cooper - they seemed to be best buddies tonight. She is a very special little girl.

 




Cooper - Cooper baked cookies and made other treats with his Scott cousins today and he brought me and Papaw a ziplock bag of his handiwork.  Tonight he was teasing Owen who was teasing him right back.  He and Tessa were playing "follow the leader" with another little boy at the open house.  I love to watch him with his cousins.

 

 





Owen - He is on the move!  He is ornery and loving and cunning.  He has a sparkle in his eye when he thinks he can get away with scooting just out of reach and escaping.  He will check over his shoulder to see if anyone is coming after him, then move more quickly, sometimes in a different direction.  He is such a neat little guy and is becoming more fun each and every day.



Very special grandchildren.  We are indeed blessed.
