Grandparenting is G R A N D

I believe one of the best things in this life is grandparenting. I love spending my Fridays with Jarrett and Jax. I love seeing them other times as well. I especially enjoy watching Papa relate to his grandsons. So fun. Andy and I are blessed as grandparents.

Tea Shirt

Matthew, my 9 year old(crazy sauce) was at the table drinking a cup of herb tea with me. He spilled some of his on the table and proceded to take the end of his t-shirt he was wearing and wipe the spot up. I said, "Matthew, don't use your shirt to wipe it up." His reply, "It's a tea shirt mom, why do you think it's called a tea shirt?" Duh, why didn't I realize this. So funny from my baby boy. In some ways I hope he never grows up. lol

Fingers crossed

Jason, our oldest(Hindes 57 sauce)announced to Andy and I yesterday that he is looking for a different job. He wants to be a policeman. We went out to dinner with he and Kami last night and had barely left their driveway when he said, "I have an announcement to make." I said, jokingly "You're pregnant." (lots of laughs) Then I got real and said,"You're moving?" "You're getting a new job?" BINGO. I hope he stays with it and just maybe Kami will be able to come home and be with their babies. By the way, Kami's platelet count was the best it's been, last Tuesday her count was up to 80 thousand. Yea!

What's next?

This morning Andy and I drove to America First Credit Union and gave them the Kia Optima. This is our very first experience of having to relinquish something. We were to date on the payments, but we decided it would be better to buy my moms Honda Accord from her with fewer miles on it than to keep the Optima. I hope we can have it payed off in a year. I was looking at my hands today and was thinking they're starting to look like my mothers. I am getting age spots and then I thought of something that made me a little depressed-in 20 years I'll be almost 70. Elderly people are beautiful people to me and I have a lot of respect for them but I can't imagine myself being in their situation. Lately I've really been pondering over what the future will bring? Like what will be going on in the world? How soon will Mike be married? Where will Curtis be going on a mission to? Where will we be living? Will Nick get over this food allergy he has? How much longer will my parents be alive? Lots to think about.

Memory Lane

When I got home from work today Andy was watching an old video made right after Nick was born. Claudia, Andy's sister and Inge their mom were here visiting to see baby Nick. It was so good to see Oma and hear her voice again. Almost like she hasn't died. Nick was such a cute baby. It was fun to see J and Mike and Curtis as little tikes. Andy and I both agree that Nathan and Jason are so much alike in their vocal and physical appearance and Matthew and Mike are so much alike, it's unbelievable. How we'll cherish these videos and thankgoodness Andy is on his way now to have it transfered all onto dvd. Over the years the sound and the picture have deteriorated. I'm grateful for ways to see things recorded from the past. It's very important.
