What is it about grandparents that is so lovely? I'd like to say that grandparents are God's gifts to children. And if they can but see, hear and feel what these people have to give, they can mature at a fast rate. ~Bill Cosby

Fun At Chuck E. Cheese

This is old news but I'm just finding time to post! These pictures are from visits to Chuck E. Cheese with the grandkids last month. Taylor loved posing for pictures! She got her brother Ryan to join her for a couple and he enjoyed showing off his rolled back eyes expression!

A couple of my favorites:

We sure had fun! All of the pictures from that day are in our Fun At Chuck E. Cheese album.

Great-Gram's Party

It's been a long time since we updated (again) but that's because we've been happily busy with grandchildren! In the beginning of this month, Michele and David brought all four kids to visit and attend a family party to honor TB's brother Jon and bride Karen. Here are extra pictures of the grandkiddies from the party!

Brandon and Nikolas ... Brandon is one terrific big brother!

Look how big Nikky has gotten!

Showcasing Grandkids: Nikolas

Right now, Nikolas is our youngest grandchild. He will be 2 in September.

Just check out that sweet little face!

Showcasing Grandkids: Tomas

We've been so fortunate that we have one grandchild in the area (we miss the other four so much!). Because of that, we get to see Tomas more often and have enjoyed bonding with him!

Our Little T is almost 2-1/2 years old. He is curious and very indedependent and can be very sweet and loving!

Although he is almost always in motion...

he also likes to pose for pictures and so he'll stop and let his Pop-Pop take some.

Showcasing Grandkids: Taylor

It's been such a long time since I last posted! Thanks, Taylor, for reminding me that you need your own page!

Taylor is our precious one and only granddaughter.

She is five years old, a fan of Bratz dolls and the color pink. She's a practicing cheerleader just like her Aunt Linda was. We sure would love to see her practice and wish we weren't so far away! We miss her very much!

More pictures of Taylor in our extended entry!

Showcasing Grandkids: Ryan

Still waters run deep. Ryan isn't a chatterbox but you can tell there's a lot going on inside.
