Six little feet that run through these halls. Six more feet that run on streets of gold. Six pairs of feet. Six sets of blessings and mama loves them all.
Dillon I simply could not resist taking these photos of you. I just love the scrunched up faces that two-year-olds make when ‘smiling’ for a picture; the hair was merely an added bonus. I was at a loss as to how I should capture this memory, so I put out a Caption Challenge on my blog to get ideas. I clearly had to go with the one Grandma Wilson provided; it brought back so many memories of her telling me to “get that hair out of your eyes”.
Grandparents touch our lives in lots of different ways
Guiding each of us through life’s magnificent maze
Supplying support, making many memories, and offering advice
So that we do not have to rely on the roll of the dice
Grandparents honed their knowledge over the course of their lives
We benefit by listening to their stories in order to grow wise
Understanding their experiences will give us sensitivity
So that we have awareness when we face adversity
Grandparents are necessary, unique and diverse
Each providing an impact us and our universe
I am taking this moment to say
I simply love you a little more each day

Here are two scrapbook pages I created and actually completed before Grandparents Day.
Now if only I could get the cards in the mail...
Journaling:
Grandma has stories of the things that mommy did,
when mommy was little, she was sure a funny kid.
Grandma supports all the activities that we are in,
and is full of praise, even if we do not win.
Grandma has a bag filled with things for us to do
colors and scissors and of course way too much glue.
Grandma has a heart, that love has overspilled,
which means our hearts, with grandmas love, are completely over filled.
