Cute and touching

Last night I had the pleasure of keeping the grand kids over night so that Jaci could continue fighting this flu bug that has her down. After getting Julie asleep in my bedroom in the playpen, I took James out to the couch and laid down with him. He is a cuddle bug. Once he fell asleep I pushed the love seat over to the couch to give him extra space and make sure he did not fall off the sofa. At 1 am I heard a thump and a grunt and got up to investigate. I was looking for James but did not see him when I spotted two little feet waving. His head had gone between the sofa and loveseat but the rest of his body was help in place. I guess when I pushed the loveseat over I didn't get it flush up at the top. So, we cuddled some more and while we were cuddling his little hand came into mine and it was such a joy and rush for me. In the dark it seemed so tiny and so filled with love. I was just overtaken with emotion. I love getting those times with them and worry about when they leave that I will miss them dearly. I am so thankful for the times I get with them and those memories that will stay with me for a lifetime. Thank you Jaci and Jarred for two beautiful grand babies and giving me time. I love you all.

Wadda great blog!

I had a few of those while they were here, mostly with Julie - not sure Jah knows what to make of me. And it honestly makes me sick to think of you guys staying there while 'J to the 4th' is on the mainland. I so SO hope you'll reconsider and come be part of their (our) lives.

Love you!!
