Thursday - My Favorite Day of the Week

A tradition was born the moment my grandson Miller came into this world three years ago.  Every Thursday night we gather with Wes, Angela, Miller and EmmaLeigh for Family Night.  I love that time we share together.  As I watch the grandbabies play, I laugh at the things they do and say and it certainly relieves any stress that I've had for the day.  Each child is unique in their own special way.  

Miller is a such a sweet little boy.  He loves running through the house, watching Dino Squad, sliding on the slide in the playroom and romping outdoors with paw-paw to hunt hippos.  He's so funny when he goes into "Dino Mood".  He knows every dinosaur by name.  I foresee him being a paleontologistt when when he grows up.  You never know what he may say next but you definitely know when there is something he doesn't want to do because he'll tell you, "I'm too busy".  As we leave for the night he loves to give his paw-paw and maw-maw lots of hugs and kisses. 

EmmaLeigh (1 year, 4 months)  is certainly the little princess and her outgoing personality and mischievous ways are hilarious.  She loves to run, dance, open cabinet doors when she isn't supposed to, snatch blankets or toys from her brother and dumpster dive.   She's very smart for her age and has already started talking in short phrases which you'll catch if you listen closely.  She's a child that loves to eat and she runs to her booster chair for food.   She never stops - until it's time for night-night and then she becomes the little baby girl who loves to be rocked, read to, sang to, prayers and into bed she goes.  Simply precious ....

Angela is a caring, loving mother and I know that my grandchildren will always be well taken care of.  She makes sure they are disciplined when they need it (very seldom in my opinion) and she takes time out of her busy schedule to snuggle and hold her children and do special things that they'll always remember.  My son chose wisely and I know he has been blessed immeasurably.

In my wildest dreams I would never have guessed that Wes would be the most patient and loving father that he is.   Even after a difficult long day @ work he arrives with hugs and kisses for his babies.  He's a good provider and I know that he loves his family and would do anything in the world to protect them from harm.

Every day that I spend with my family will always hold a special place in my heart.  The memories that we share together, the laughs, the food (mostly take-out) and the good times we have on Thursday night are things that I will always look back on with a smile and know that I'm living life!
