I have to say, I have not been feeling the greatest lately. I seriously think I am coming down with grandchild withdrawal! I have not seen Connor since Thanksgiving, and they are coming next weekend to celebrate Christmas. We had to go a week early to get everybody home. Boy, do I miss him! I thought our kids captured our hearts, but this really is different! Molly and Tanner send us snapchats everyday so we can see how he is doing, but there is nothing like holding him. This post is going to have a lot more pictures than usual, just to get my point across.
He is always smiling, and so happy! How can you not miss him! Connor reminds me so much of Molly when she was little.
Molly is the one on the left. It is hard to imagine this picture is already over 27 years old! Where did the time go!
Here they are now all grown up, and Megan is holding Connor at his baptism.
It is fun seeing Sarah holding a baby again. She is making a wonderful grandma and loves her role just as much as I do mine.
Holding him just does not get old. He will be walking and running with us as he gets older. I always have my hat on running, so of course he had to try it out too.
I am ready to go Grandpa! I may have more facial hair, but he has me beat for the amount of hair on his head! Train them young to they learn quicker.
We had him out in the stroller this Fall, but now it is too cold for him. We will be back out there again in the Springtime! The only one who probably is not as excited to see Connor come is Dakota. She starts to feel left out, but manages to get petting time by everybody then.
Dakota wiped out after Connor leaves. She has to cuddle with her pet dinosaur. Another kid in the family.
Having Connor spend time with us is like having a great new sunrise every morning. It just gets better and better, no matter how many times you may have seen it (in this case, him!)
How true! Connor just laughs and smiles, not a care in the world. We need to get back to those simpler times as well. Life is too stressful at times, and many times made more stressful by ourselves. Kick back and enjoy the important things in life. Spend time with your family, and especially your grandkids. As we get older, we now can actually spend more time with our grandkids than we actually did with our own kids. Spoil them. Play with them. Be with them! You/I want our grandkids to remember us. Don’t miss those opportunities.

Stay fit and take care of your health. Don’t miss out on those times you can spend with your grandchildren. They want to be a part of your life. I/we really want them to be a part of our lives. Enjoy every minute of it. Keep moving everybody!
