Now they run and chatter and explore their world. My granddaughter will be one year old on July 31 ~ looking forward to that celebration. And I totally agree with your final sentence! Enjoy each day.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10638456137129970537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568258025320906795.post-29541860734207644332010-07-02T11:17:06.789-04:002010-07-02T11:17:06.789-04:00One of my granddaughters was here for a week.

They have lived next door to us all their lives until we moved out to the country house (an hour away) about a year ago. We still see them a lot as we go into the city fairly often, but it's nice to have them one at a time too. All four at once (the grandson is 13, already had his week) is a lot.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568258025320906795.post-71999977644824962792010-07-01T13:32:03.064-04:002010-07-01T13:32:03.064-04:00We hope to stay near them so we can have a relatio...We hope to stay near them so we can have a relationship with the kids. Our family is small and many spread far and wide so we want to remain close. We are invited to a cookout at their house this 4th which delights us. I didn't have living grandparents when I grew up which makes this a special experience for me.R.

My grand niece is also a preemie delivered early by c-section in a breech birth, so it's so good to hear all the hurdles your grandchild has cleared. Love the analogy to Methuselah, too... :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
