I think that I may have the best grandparents in the world! They have given us so much love and support over the years that it is really impossible to measure. As a young adult I lived with them for a short period of time before meeting and marrying my husband. When we didn’t get our home finished on our homestead they let our family come and live with them (husband, DD 2 at the time, and my big pregnant self), and let us stay until a few weeks after our new baby was born. “Let” isn’t even the right word for it. They rejoiced that we were coming to stay with them, they luxuriated in our presence.

We are currently staying with them again, while my husband works on completing his fencing contract here in their condominium complex. We stay here for awhile, go home, make fences, and come back. But you know what ladies, the best part is my grandparents love to cook for us, and play with the children. They are both at home and retired (unfortunately their small dog companion just died this week), and I really think they are blessed by our presence. I know it is certainly a blessing to me to take a break from cooking. I wash all of the dishes and clean the bathrooms from time to time. They encourage me to put my big pregnant feet up, and take a load off. They have high speed internet. They love my girls to pieces.

Thank you so much Grandma and Grandpa for being who you are! We love you so much! I don’t think you read my blog, but just in case you ever come on over here - big hugs and kisses for you!
