caleb

Last night (08/26/11) Bob and I babysat for our daughter and son-in-law, we had such a good time. They went out to a party for some friends and Gramma and Grandpa got the privilege. He is such a good baby, but does hate to go to asleep for fear he will miss something. LOL. It was truly a joy for us to watch him. Grandpa watched the two granddogs and Gramma watched the baby. LOL

The parents returned and this grandma has not loss her ability to put little ones to sleep, he fell asleep in my arms and i put him to bed, it was hard because I love to hold him. He has so much
love and above all SUGAR.

And of course, the time I arrived at the house, i was a bearer of gifts, some things for Caleb for later and then of course some for now. I guess I am a sucker for my grandchildren, I spoil everyone of them. ALL NINE!!!! You dont believe me, just ask them.

The other day, my oldest daughter was here to visit with her children, her second son, had gone shopping with his mom and wanted something, she told him no, he said okay, I will ask Gramma Hayes she will get it for me. LOL AND of course Gramma came through and bought the item for him. HA HA HA

Well everyday, no matter what trials we go through we need to remember This is the Day the Lord has Made let us rejoice in it. Some days granted it is hard to do, but I just reflex on my grandchildren and indeed know this is truly the day hath made and what a blessing they all are.
We love our children, but grandchildren are indeed a blessing to ones family. I praise the Lord for all my children and their family and the family that God has given them.

Well will close for now, more things later. Bless you all!

Spending Time with Caleb

This past week, I spent time with my Daughter, Jessica and her precious son, Caleb. This grandma was so elated. We got up in the wee hours of the morning and those mornings (early)
brought several memories of getting up with my children. Caleb I think loves his Grandma and loves being held (probably of which I am guilty of spoiling him) (oops priveledge of a Grandma)
I so loved being with my daughter and seeing her in action, she is so awesome and so good with
Caleb.

Each morning before his daddy would leave, he would get tons of sugar to last him till he came home that afternoon (of course, a parent cant get too much sugar and there isnt ever too much)
I so enjoyed spending the nights and days with them. I hated for it to come to end, but I knew they must get on with there family routine and Grandma had too too. So sad, when you did not want to leave. Am so thankful I had that time with them. They are such good parents and I am so proud of them.

Caleb has wonderful parents who love him so much. One thing for sure even though he is #9
the thrill is still there as it was 9 years ago with the birth of my first.

Thank you Matt and Jessica for this time I spent with you all and with precious Caleb, those are good memories this Grandma will cherish forever.
