A Grandfather's Love

Yesterday, we drove up to Paris TN for Sandra’s kids primary program. As I sat behind Will and watched he and my dad interact, my mind turned Papaw and the relationship that I was privileged to share with him.  I hope that my boy feels that with his Papa…there is no feeling like no knowing no matter what you do that someone will always love you.   While I pray that my children know that about Jake and me, it is nice to share that feeling with someone else as well.  It did not help that as I was driving this morning, my thoughts were on memories with my grandparents too. My life was enriched by them.

On a different note, we are hoping to be able to surprise our kids and take them to Disney over fall break but I am uncertain that it can even happen, it is so costly.  But at the same time, I think my kids are at the perfect age and as much as a I hate to realize it, there is a good chance I have only three summers left with Ginny. Where has time gone? I feel like I need to devote more time to my babes and force life to slow down, even if means not getting involved with so many extra-curricular activities.  

Happy 13th Miss Aubree

Today our beautiful Aubree turns 13. She is kind beyond measured she has a fervent testimony of the gospel. Yesterday at church, she bore her testimony about a tornado drill at school this week and how people were saying things kid "we are all going to die" and after a few minutes she wondered if it were her time was she ready? She posed several questions about if she studies her scriptures enough, prays enough,  serves others, and lives in accordance with God's teachings. She brought the spirit into the meeting strongly. What an example that sweet young lady is to all especially to me.
