Lots going on these days!

There has been soooo much going on lately!

As I said in my last post, my son and his

family were coming to visit! Yippee!

It actually ended up taking a bit of doing

getting them here, but arrive they did!

With news nobody cared for. They lost

their apt. and as of that night they

were homeless. Geez.

They decided to move up here for a fresh

start, but in the meantime had to head

back home to get a few things worked out

and sorted through. As they were not sure

where they were going to stay, we offered

to let the little guy stay here with us

for the 2 weeks. And he is here!

Its nice having a little one in the house.

Has been a long time since we have had

one here without a parent! Just like riding

a bike ya don't forget how ha!

So this is his second day without the

'mama' and he is doing great! Of course

we are getting used to each other

and new rules and such,but all in all

its all good!

I am surprised at how different I feel

in caring for a 4yr old as a grandmother

and not a mother. I still have little

'rules' I guess you would call them,

but there is a different softness in

myself. I just don't find myself reaching

the point of pulling my hair out or

getting exasperated easily.

I love being a grammie. I wish

my other grandkids were here,

or at least close by. Texas

is soooo far away from No.Calif.

But its wonderous at how far

your heart can stretch. And its

all wrapped up tight around

the other 4 sweeties in Texas.

Later I will talk about my son

moving in here.....yikes!!!!
