Mermaid

I was bathing Devin and Aubrey. They have discovered that they love water, even face submerging for a few seconds. I had soaped Aubrey up and asked her to rinse while soaping brother. She was lying in the tub on her back with only her nose and mouth out of the water. And she was singing lalala, lalala, lalala, the music to Little Mermaid, very recognizable. I asked her if she was a mermaid and she said yes and continued with her melody. They are growing in leaps and bounds. Today they rode their hot wheels around the neighborhood and had great stamina. And, they thanked me for taking them for a ride. Gotta love it!

There is nothing sweeter than hearing the door open and sweet voices say, "Grandma, Grandpa we are home." Always followed by hugs and gooey squeezes. Our lives are so much more fun and exciting having Devin and Aubrey living with their mommy in our home. We are grateful for the joy we feel as we see them grow strong and well. They are quite the team. Best friends or quick enemies, always defending each other. I love having them help with lawn mowing, watering the garden, picking raspberries and tomatoes. They are such helpers in cooking dinner and folding clothes. My favorite is the foot massages they give. It always makes my day better to have love and energy of the sweet bodies of my cute grandchildren around me.

Love being a Grandma

This morning I picked up Ada and Sammy for Rosanne to get to a doctor appointment. Ada loves her preschool with Ms Le. She is so social and loves interaction. Sammy is getting so competent. I had full arms when we got to our home so I put him on the grass. He headed to the house, up the stairs and waited as I made my way to open the door. I then decided to clean the kitchen while Sammy emptied drawers. As I took out the garbage, Sammy loaded clean dishes into the garbage can. I then made the decision to wash dishes. He is such a helper. I can now remember with his help being a young mother and the busy time trying to get things done with so much help. It is such a joy being a grandmother to my sweet grandchildren. I love them so.
