It was Thanksgiving weekend two years ago while shopping in Home Depot. (Hmmm … somehow that’s very appropriate!) We got the call. My sweet husband and I were going to be grandparents! Oh, how our world changed …
A grandone was on the way!
Fast forward several months. The big day finally arrived!
Little Man made his grand entrance — all 9 lbs. 9 oz. and 22″ of him! Oh, how I wish I could show you pictures of his sweet face, but I have to respect his parents’ wishes. (Yes, I know there are “crazies” out there in the world of the Internet…)
I did get permission to give you a peek, though. Just a little one. How quickly he’s gone from newborn to active toddler!
These little feet have learned to walk,
And now they’ve learned to run…
These little feet just love to dance,
They climb and have some fun…
These little feet don’t want to rest,
They only want to play…
These little feet are busy feet,
They’re on the go all day…
And now they’ve learned to run…

At 15 1/2 months, he does go-go-go all day!
For just a little longer I have the good fortune of him living nearby. We’re taking walks and picking up “treasures” (leaves, acorns, sticks). We’re smelling flowers and reading books. We’re making playdough.
Making memories.
Really good memories that my sweet husband and I treasure.
At this season of Thanksgiving, my heart is grateful for family … from this youngest member who brings such freshness, joy and smiles — to the oldest members who have offered love, stability, and godly counsel for so many years. May I be faithful to pass on the legacy.
Thanks for stopping by during this busy Thanksgiving week. I hope you are blessed by people who love you — and that you are a blessing to others.

OH, what a blessing. This miracle will bless for all your years. I have five grandsons, all grown. I still count myself blessed each time I am in their presence.
This is such a beautiful tribute. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. Hugs, Ginger
