I hope y'all had a very blessed Easter. That you celebrated God's gift to all of us . . . everlasting life.
It's been a wonderful life for the ole grandson. He was 25 years old on Easter Sunday. I've been blogging almost that long. The blog - until he grew up anyway - was all about him . . .

the three of us went skydiving as a graduation gift!
My son, grandson, and me . . .
his first friend gets married . . . and then the second one got married . . . they were number three . . .
Covid . . .
Voting for the first time . . .
trips away with friends . . .
Granddaughter's college graduation . . .
Moving away from home to work in downtown Atlanta.
Hawaii . . .
Engaged to the sweetest and prettiest and nicest girl ever . . .
Wedding . . .
honeymoon . . .
first apartment . . .
Our 50th wedding anniversary . .
their first home . . .
and baby makes three . . .
cutest and sweetest baby ever . . .
And now for the rest of the story . . .
He starts a new job on the 13th . . .
Grandson - may God bless and keep 'all' of you.
May he shine is countenance among you
and give you peace - always.
May the next 25 years be as good as the first 25 years.
Happy Birthday to your Grandson. Praying for him and all of you. God bless always.

Happy Birthday to a sweet and handsome young man, Sandie! I know how proud you are of him and all he is becoming.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your handsome grandson! That was a wonderful summary of his life so far and what a wonderful life it's been!
ReplyDelete" the steps of a good man is ordered by the Lord" May your grandson continue to walk those steps the rest of his life. Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Andy! That is so special that his birthday was on Easter this year. I so enjoyed all the photos of him growing up through the years. I remember many of them. I can't believe you've been blogging for that long. You are a pro! haha Andy and Shaye look so happy in these pictures. And baby Mackenzie made their life even happier. I love that first picture of him.....how did that happen? And my favorite picture was of him with the camera. I hope he takes many wonderful pictures throughout his life. There are so many treasured memories in these pictures you have shared, Sandie. Have a blessed spring week! : )
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday 🎂 🥳 to your handsome grandson, dear Sandie.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are a lasting and beautiful memory 💜 Thank you for sharing.
This (yours) may well be the best Birthday "card" ever! I can't believe "little Andy" grew up so quickly -- unlike the rest of us, hahahaha. It's been an honor to watch him here on your blog!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY! What an awesome post. You have the best pictures ever. It was fun seeing him grow up in this post. Wishing him all the best in his new job.
ReplyDeleteWhat a walk down memory lane! I remember so much of this, especially the black belt and little Disco. I think my favorite is the black and white one where he is carrying his wife in a field. She looks so full of joy to have found him!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post, Sandie!! Gosh, I remember meeting you, your hubby, and Andy way back when he was a little guy!! That was back in 2013!! Wow. April 5th is my son's birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Andy! What a neat life you are living!

ReplyDeleteGood to get the e-mail and the post, Love it. It was fun seeing things we remember thru the years. This was great.
