You can tell the days are getting shorter! Its sad when the sun goes down before dinner time and you know the day is coming to an end. The trees all look so sad with their empty branches. Some still have their leaves but most are falling off quickly now that the weather is turning.
This week will be me oldest granddaughter's ninth birthday. It hardly seems possible that nine years have passed from the day she was born. The first grandchild is special. You go crazy buying them the perfect wardrobe, all the educational toys that you think will surely get them into Harvard, and more shoes than they will ever wear.
Most of it is for you, but its still fun. She spent the night, Saturday night and as I watched walk to the door after dropping her off, I remembered that morning in October, 9 years ago that she entered our world. What a beauty she is. (Gets it from me!)
My husband, her grandpa Page was alive then. He was a very proud Papa. We were very proud grandparents. Life throws you curves and events spin you out of control, but moments like these stay in your heart forever.
Happy Birthday Chloe Grace!
I know how you feel, Teresa! My oldest grandson turned 16 in September!!! My goodness! I, too, can remember that first moment of his birth. Is this your daughter's child or your son's? I have three girls, so I had to watch each one go through their labor. I felt every pain they did. Then you blink and......they are grown!! My youngest grandson will be 18 months old Nov. 6th. So I have quite the range! Oh and by the way, my mom's first name was Chloe! She went by her middle name of Katherine (Kay) though. Chloe Grace is an awesome name! Is this your only grandchild? They are so special!!!! See you Friday in the Success Center!
ReplyDeleteI am very upset that the weather is changing. I love the long warm days, and every year it is almost depressing when the days get short and cold. It is beautiful when all of the leaves turn colors, but when they all fall off and leave the trees bare, it’s not so pretty anymore. My grandparents mean the world to me and I appreciate everything they do for me so much. It sounds like you have really good relationships with your grandchildren too. It’s good to know that some kids do still appreciate their elders. Grandparents are the best!!
