Grandchildren-What a Gift!

This weekend was filled with family and good times, including our sweet little grand daughter. She is almost 14 months old now and quite the ham, as you can see :) By the way, she loves her new sunglasses and leaves them on for a long time!
She has been concentrating on learning to walk and now she rarely crawls at all anymore. She is very fascinated with any kind of technology-cell phones, computers, remote controls, cameras, you name it. When I took the above picture I could hardly get her to stay in front of the camera because she was too taken with what was going on on my side.
Here's what's happening with our two other grandchildren:
Our oldest daughter and son-in-law are expecting their first child in December. She is now in her second trimester at 23 weeks, which means she has about 17 weeks to go until the baby is born. They are waiting to be surprised as to what the gender of the baby is until he or she is born but she and the baby are doing very well.
Our second daughter, Lorelei's mama, is due in less than 7 weeks with our second grand daughter. Yesterday I was enjoying feeling her kick as Katie and I were sitting on the couch.
Again, we are very thankful to know that everything is going well.
God has truly blessed our family as we look forward to two more new members of the family! Hopefully I can share the ultrasound pictures soon.

Thank you for the update on your grandchildren. It won't be long before your home will be filled with their noise and little feet.

Isn't it true, that when someone says they will become a grandparent, words can't describe how you feel?
For me it's a dream come true.

Congratulations, again.

Isn't she just the cutest! And 2 more before Christmas, I can hardly wait! I thought being a Grandma was wonderful, but being a Great Grandma is awesome!

Time has really flown by. It's hard to believe it's been 14 months since she was born. She is sure a cutey!
