Preschool

My grandson was telling me about his day at preschool and it reminded me of Wild Child's preschool days. I arrived to pick her up one day. She didn't come bouncing out the door like she usually did. In fact, she didn't come out at all. I waited while the line of cars behind me got longer and longer.... Sign in to see full entry.

Grandson's Comments

My daughter explained to her 5 year old son about his great grandmother's passing. He listened intently and then asked, "Can Daddy take me to heaven to visit her?" Oh, my heart! Such a sweet boy. My 8 year old granddaughter asked if she could write Grandma a letter and put it in the casket. Such a... Sign in to see full entry.

Loss

I lost my beautiful mother-in-law tonight. It is so very hard to let her go, but we feel blessed to have been by her side in her final hours. She has enriched my life beyond measure and will always and forever have a special place in my heart. Sign in to see full entry.

T-ball

My five year old grandson is so excited to be playing T-ball this summer. He's quite small for his age and is the smallest one on the team. He is not small on personality though. He's very charismatic and the girls love him. My daughter said at the first practice he told the bigger kids to throw the... Sign in to see full entry.

Ceiling Fan

When Wild Child was 4 years old, she was quite good at taking things apart. We discovered this one night when we attempted to put her to bed. Wild Child and Free Spirit had bunkbeds. Wild Child was oldest, so she got the top bunk. It was a warm night and she wanted the ceiling fan on. We soon found... Sign in to see full entry.

Taking a walk

Taking a walk with my three year old grandson tonight and stopping to look at a roly-poly bug reminded me of a conversation between his mother and her sister. One day, I found the two of them inspecting a caterpillar on the driveway. I, of course, had to listen in as Wild Child explained to Free... Sign in to see full entry.

Conversation with a three year old

My grandson (Max) and I were driving to the hotel for the reception and this is how the conversation went: Guy, are we going back to church again? No, we're going to the hotel. Well, why did Mommy have that pretty dress on? Mommy married Seth today. Oh, did Seth get married too? Yes, Seth married... Sign in to see full entry.

Granddaughter

My six year old granddaughter (Wild Child's daughter) had the best time dancing at the wedding reception. She danced so much that the DJ gave her an inflatable electric guitar and she rocked out for everybody. She has got music in her soul! Of course, so do her parents. My daughter can sing and play...

Reception

The room turned out really nice. We spent about an hour and a half decorating the night before. My oldest daughter made all the centerpieces. They were simple-peonies, roses, and smaller filler flowers in small mason jars. She stuffed the dark colored peonie leaves in the jars to cover the stems and... Sign in to see full entry.

Wedding

The wedding was beautiful. My free-spirited daughter went very traditional with a 1940's theme. Her dress was ivory with lots of beading (I swear it weighed 10 pounds!) with a rhinestone brooch, strapless, and laced up the back. I gave her a lot of grief about all that lacing - she had to hold on to... Sign in to see full entry.
