I thought having kids was one of the greatest things. Now we started getting grandkids. Wow! I have said numerous times I thought it would be great but did not realize how great it would be. Last weekend both Connor and Tessa were with us along with their mom and dad, Molly and Tanner. This weekend the rest of their family went to a wedding, and we got to have Tessa for the weekend. First granddaughter, second grandchild. For those of you out there who have grandkids, you know each and every one is special in their own way. This little girl is just all smiles. We are going to watch the Vikings play on Sunday, and she is going to fit right in with her Vikings outfit she will be wearing. Connor I am sure will have his on at home too. Connor is getting so big that we have to work out just to be able to keep up with him!
So, no question it is much more laid back this weekend. She does a lot of sleeping, which allows us to get other things done, and to take a nap with her!
So many things to do with them. So much we want to do for them. She fell asleep on my chest Saturday night when she got done eating before we laid her down for the night, and it was awesome! I forgot how that felt with our kids many years ago. I have to admit, it was very easy to just forget about everything else that has been going on. How can things not be good when you are around them?
You forget how many times you actually give your heart away. Being a grandparent has been incredible. Sarah and I will keep working out so we can have the energy to keep up with them. You all need to do the same. Spend time with them. Be there for them. Let them all know how great their grandparents are. We as grandparents have a lot to teach them. Be positive role models. Show them why grandparents are also really cool too! Then hug them and kiss them any chance you get! Enjoy! Keep moving everybody!
