grandbabbies....











...and being a grandma. i love this title! being a grandma is such a special thing. three days a week i get to hang out with Abbi. she is growing so fast and is such a treat. her personality is coming out more and more everyday. i can't wait to see what the next day brings and what she may become. she loves to have books read to her, and i love to read them to her. i can say a line or two of the book and she will go get it, i think that is very smart of her. she is beautiful with her blond hair and petite little self. i am wondering when she, if ever, will start to look like Jennifer . right now, she is the image of her dad, which ain't bad. Patrick has two sons, Caleb and Andrew. i love hanging out with them too. it doesn't happen to often, but when it does, all is good. Caleb is very much into sports, all sports. the knowledge he has of sports for his age is amazing. he can tell you just about any thing you need to know about football, which i like. he plays all the sports in youth sports and is very good at it, again, much more at football, which again i like. Andrew likes to read. I'm not much of a reader, but i like to ask him about what he is reading and wait for him to tell me about the whole book, so i don't really need to read if i have Andrew around to tell about it. it's like book on tape by way of Andrew...to cute. he is very much into harry potter and can tell you whatever you may need to know about that series...amazing . then there's Greyson, he was here this past December and i got to spend a lot of one on one time with him. i would just sit back and watch and listen to him, he never stops. he loves to play with trucks and cars, and can tell you what make many of them are. he to loves to read and be read to, (Leslie read to him before he was even born.) he is very smart, he can tell you his letters and numbers, and what words start with by listening to the letter sound. i talk to him often on the web cam and keep saying that within a short time i see him calling me. i miss him very much when he is gone and wish that he and Abbi could grow up together. then there is Ava. i refer to her as my someday granddaughter. she to is beautiful and is getting so big so fast. hard to believe she is 4+ already. don't get to spend to much one on one time with her, but wish i could...maybe some day. she was here for an afternoon this past holiday, and she too likes to read. it's nice to see the little ones reading the books that the girls once read. i hope that there are more grandbabbies to come and hope to spend as much time with each and every one of them as possible.
