1st Block & insights afterwards

My daughter & her family dropped by out of the blue last night. The baby's talking up a storm & is a cutie, and is already almost 2 1/2! My oldest grand daughter is as tall as me, I thinka little taller! It was great to see her & my grand son. He looks just like my son at that age-exactly! She gave me pictures & I had to do a double-take of the pictures!  I wish we had more time together, but it was awesome to see them. My house was a mess b/c my gal that I let go hadn't been doing her job, and after living in the same place for almost 15 years, I need to get of of a LOT of stuff, so I'd started going through that w/ a friend & a neighbor, so I can hopefully have a garage sale soon.

Both my older grand kids are on the honor roll & advanced placement & have grown SO much! My grand daughter starts high school next year, and she's REALLY tall! She used to be the short one, but I kept telling my daughter years ago that I thought she had that tall gene in her & she does! She's grown SO tall in such a short time! She'll prolly be over 6 feet before she's done with high school! My grandson is such a joy! She's so pleasant & sweet! He & the baby were a bit tired, but we'll be seeing each other soon she says, so I'm happy they are doing so well in school. The "baby" is talking up a storm & was really shy until she saw my drums (I thought about giving them to her, but I'd need to talk to mom & dad before going down that road! I don't believe in dropping noisy toys like that on parents without their OK!), then she was fine. She's already talking in full sentences! She's a little spitfire & is already reading too. My older GD  is still at the top of her class & expects to be Valor Victorian of her class if she keeps it up, so I'm happy for her. I remember reading to her & having her write her letters when she was little. She looked around & said my house had SO many memories! I'd watched her from the time she was a baby until when my daughter moved away, but she remembered so many things, down to even her bath toys, the "little" palm tree in the back yard she saw as a sprout & since she's seen it, it's prolly put on another 10-15 feet or so!

It was SO nice to see them again & to know they are doing so well. My daughter is working as a manager at work & her husband is still running his own business. 

Anyhow, I had to share! I hadn't seen them in  while, so it was nice to catch up. It was awesome to see all 3 grand kids together! They are SO special to me! The oldest is already talking colleges, taking college classes next year & will be driving before we know it, so I'm excited for her! She wants to be a doctor or a veterinarian & I know she can do anything she wants to do & will do it well. My grandson is right behind her & little sister is right behind them both.  It's great to see how excited kids get at this age about picking a college. I'm SO proud of them all! I know these kids have a great future & it just made my evening! Even if my hair was a mess! 

 

Meeting the little one for the 1st time was a blast! I wish we lived closer! They've go their other grandma too though, and although we've not met, she seems to be a positive influence in their lives as well! 

 

I'm hoping we can all get together for Mother's day as well! :) 

 

An awesome day to get together with family for a great meal & to all catch up together.

 

I'm hoping my son & daughter-in-law had a bun in the over too! I know they are trying! We should have another coming before too long G-d-willing! That really made my evening! I *WAS* thinking though & weather I stay where I am or move, I'm going to have to keep the babies in mind! Definitely will have to be sure the cabinets, etc. are childproofed! When you moving stuff around, it's tough & the youngest knows not to get into the cabinets for the most part & just by habit, I've always kept cleaners out of the cabinets, etc., but more to do & need to keep that in mind for this little one & the hopefully new one on the way!

 

I DEFINITELY HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GRAND KIDS EVER!
