A Child's View of Life

Oh, if only we could look at life always like a young child. The way they are awestruck by the littlest things. I try and point out things as we are driving in the car. Yesterday I had the girls in the morning (Luke was at swimming lessons - see Jean's blog), and then we met Jean and Luke for lunch. He didn't like it that he wasn't able to come to grandma's house. I told him that he was welcome to come grocery shopping with me. The girls went home to take good naps for momma. After groceries we came to my house for a bit. He was so happy to be here by himself. I need to do that again. It has been a long time since we had any one on one. Anyway, to get to the story. We picked up Uncle Bobby and headed for his house. He loves all the diggers, etc on SR 43. We talk about them each time, whether they are working or not. Then we pulled on to 900 by his street. They were repaving it. I told Luke that we were driving on the new road. He was so amazed by it, and said "AWESOME, grandma." It is so fun to watch and hear the thrill in his little voice. Well, it isn't always little. :-) But, I love him dearly. I am so thankful that I can be a part of these little ones lives. They are so thrilled to see me. It truly makes my day each time I pick them up. I think it makes Jean's too!! I look forward to next week's adventure, and I will try and take some pictures.

Mrs. Bibby,
I've missed your posts! I hope that you haven't decided to stop writing on your blog because even when I don't have a chance to comment much, I still love reading about your life!!!

THANKS SO MUCH for the package I received in the mail yesterday afternoon! The outfits are ADORABLE, the card is SUPER SWEET, and I cannot wait to use the "extra gift" when Bob gets back (he's at Kindom Bound working for the 4th yr doing catering)

I will be sending a thank you in the mail soon, but I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated the package- thank you SO SO much!!! :)

Glad that you received the package. I have not given up the blogging. It has just been a busy time. I will try and get one out this week, but my folks are visiting. Enjoy your 'date' when you are able.
