Is There a Greater Joy??

Is there any greater joy in life than becoming a grandmother?! I remember the "jolt" at first - the realization that I was someone's grandma AND if that wasn't bad enough, I was now married to a grandpa!!! We really didn't look old enough to be grandparents, did we??

Now - almost 4 years later, the joy I feel when that little guy blurts out, "HI GRANDMA!" - well, it just fills my heart and brings a smile to my face.

...and it wasn't NEARLY such a shock when we welcomed his little sister. I am now a proud grandmother to Nolan, who is almost 4 and little Grace, who just turned 1 on Mother's Day.

For all the hustle and bustle that Nolan brings to our lives - Grace brings such a sense of calm and little girl charm. She seems to look at her brother in amazement that he does what he does...and gets away with it. Her little smile lights up a room and she has her grandpa wrapped right around the finger. Isn't that what little girls are supposed to do??

I was content being the grandmother of two.... and now I find out that my grandchildren count will DOUBLE at Christmas. Two of our five daughters are due within two days of each other. I can't think of a better Christmas gift for this family!!!!
