Yes grandchildren are a pot of gold. Andy is growing, I can see how long his legs are getting...and his smile lights up his face.. And your other grandson was just a baby in the last pic I saw.. Wonderful to have them both together at once.. xxx

Yes, children - the are what make so many of us go forward every day. They make so many things worthwhile. I can't wait until my grands move a little closer - soon they will only be a 90 minute flight away.

Hi Sandie. Lovely photo of the two grandchildren! It is always good to remind ourselves to be grateful for all that we have. The health of my family is always number one in my book. For my loving, caring family, the gift of friendship,including my bloggy friends, the home that I love.

Your grandkids are precious. Waiting for some of my own. What am I grateful for? Too much to mention, really. But, right now I am thankful to have my oldest son back home with us.

I too, am so grateful for my grandchildren, all 11 of them. And without their parents I'd have none of them...so I'm doubly grateful for them too.
