Grandchildren Are Great!

I came home today and I was no sooner in the door and my little five year old grandson Kyler came over and rang my doorbell. He handed me a picture of himself in his soccer uniform. He told me that he got to wear the goalie shirt. He looked so cool and was so proud of himself. It is one my greatest joys to share in the happy moments of my children's and grandchildren's lives. I pray that I will be around long enough to enjoy many other happy times.

Tomorrow we go to our granddaughter Shea's school. She is celebrating her Grade Six farewell. Last Saturday she turned 12 and is quickly becoming a beautiful young woman. In some ways to quickly. A couple of weeks ago she phoned to tell us that she was accepted into the school she had been wanting to attend - Mary Butterworth School. She was also accepted into an advanced study program. We are looking forward to see her all dressed up tomorrow. I am sure we will have tears in our eyes as we look on with pride as she celebrates her success.

Our grandson Jayden turned 10 on June 12. He is growing into a young man and we are seeing evidence of him accepting responsibility. He often comes to church with us getting up early on Sunday morning all by himself and he is ready to leave with us by 8:30am. He is becoming a young man with a pleasing personality that we are very proud of.

Our grandson Kian is a holy terror at three - almost four. He is bright, misses nothing and loves bugs. He loves his little cars and can tell you which one is a mustang, a chev or a ford. He sees every SV6 Montana Van or every Grandam and can identify them as they drive down the street. Kian is full of life and never stops. He runs everywhere.

Our granddaughter Brynn is going to be one year old in about 2 months. She can win you with a smile in just a few seconds. To see her eat a cupcake is to know that life is to be enjoyed.

Grandchildren are the greatest invention there ever was. They are designed to fill us with joy when the skies are cloudy. They are full of hope and promise and remind us that life is worth living even as you grow older.
