Children
Teamwork
I took my daughter in law to her physical therapy appointment this morning and when we got back to her house, she was hurting pretty badly. She took some ibuprofen and sat down in the recliner and put her foot up. My son came in from resting in his bed. He is still recovering from […]
Extreme Courage
Yesterday I was blessed to go to my granddaughter’s voice lesson and listen to her sing. She has been taking lessons for about a year now as singing is truly her passion. It became evident when she was a toddler that God had given her this talent. Her perfect pitch and musicality is truly amazing. […]
Football Fun
I spent the day with my daughter in law, granddaughter, and younger grandson today. My 2 sons went to the football game with their dad who came from out of town to celebrate their birthdays. The older grandson went too. They shared some pictures of their tailgate setup and food. When they got home, they […]
Yelling For Jesus
I went to church this evening for a change. It was much quieter than Sunday mornings when many families and children attend. The Gospel reading was about a blind man who wanted to be healed. He followed Jesus, yelling the whole while until he was noticed. He knew who Jesus was and he knew what […]
Ordinary Conversation
When I took my granddaughter to school this morning, we were a little early, so we waited in the car for a few minutes. As we did, we looked around for interesting things. We saw some airplanes in the sky and talked about contrails. Then we saw some birds and talked about the different kinds. […]
Sharing Her Childhood
My daughter in law has been getting very bored as she continues to recover from her ankle surgery. She is still non-weight bearing and has her foot elevated the majority of the day. Yesterday we looked through a list of things to do and one of the suggestions was to make a photo album. My […]
Still Counting My Blessings
Today was my oldest son’s birthday. Per his request I made chicken enchiladas and a fruit pizza which I haven’t made in a very long time. I spent the afternoon at his house helping to make sure my daughter in law was doing ok. She gets a little better every day since the ankle surgery […]
Baking With Grammy
My granddaughter didn’t have school today, so we planned a baking day. She has a Harry Potter baking book with recipes for foods that mimic those in the movies. I told her we could make one of them today. She looked through the book and chose one named Honeydukes Haul Cake. The recipe was for […]
The Dark Drive
Since my daughter in law is incapacitated from her ankle surgery a few days ago, I have been helping them out. Tonight I picked up one of my grandsons from an event. It was the first time I drove at night with my new glasses. It was wonderful. I don’t usually even drive at night. […]
Made of Music
I have had the pleasure of spending much time with my granddaughter the past couple days. She is always humming and singing and tapping in rhythm. She has always loved singing and has always been quite good. Last year she started taking singing lessons and is really improving her tone. Even so, she hasn’t really […]
