Or, why I spent twelve hours of the weekend traveling with these little sweethearts:
1. I have a van, and it was going to Omaha anyway.
2. Cousins – I take it as my grandmotherly responsibility to facilitate cousin time at every opportunity. The girl cousins live in three different states and are separated by sixteen hours. When one family gets within six hours of us, I make it a point to get some of us there.
3. Grandparent Sharing – I love sharing grandchildren with my friend, Cheri, and I had heard some homesickness in her recent emails. How could I not take these girls to see her when I had the chance?
4. The birthday boy – I promised to arrive at J. Paxton’s first birthday party with bells on. I opted to bring belles instead.
5. Memories – I love making them. The girls may not remember this trip forever, but I certainly will.
This picture really does amaze and delight me. It’s too fun, and it will mean something to all of them, FOREVER. 🙂
I’m with Serenity, this photo is all kinds of wonderful. I love the digital age — the only snapshots of time I spent with my dear grandmothers are written on my heart.
I saw Claire at school yesterday and asked her if she was tired because she looked a little droopy. She perked right up and sparkled, “Yes, it’s cause I had a trip!” : )
Thank you so much!!
I’m pretty sure I’m the happiest camper of all about this trip.
How fun! To quote the old Atlanta Home Press, I am sure “a good time was had by all”.
You’re such an awesome Grandma!
