We have our 4 yr. old granddaughter for a few days. Yesterday was a day that truly warmed my heart. The planetarium put on a show for 4 yrs. and older. It was delgihtful, and my granddaughter chose to sit on my lap, and she wrapped my arms around her as we soared through the orbit. Afterwards her grandfather , "A" and I visited a nature museum. She was fascinated and didn't want to leave. We spent almost 4 hours there. To end a perfect day we visited a café, ordered strawberry cake with ice cream and lots of whip cream. But nothing was as sweet as my little pumpiamkin. She sat on my lap and planted my face with kisses. If that wasn't enough she kissed my hands my arms, ha ha,..honestly, it was Grandma loving time. The place was packed. I think all eyes were on us, and some people even stopped at our table and smiled at my kissing granddaughter. Too cute...and yes, I was in Grandma heaven.
That was a day that will sustain me for a long long time.

Exquisitely precious!!

EW, I love you for sharing your grandparenting close-ups. They are precious and so heartwarming. Keep sharing.

How adorable is this? Thank you for sharing her life. I hope we'll always be involved in her growing years. She is so precious to us as well!

You and 'A' should be the poster grandma and grandchild for all the world to imitate. The perfect example of how things should be between us and them. I so admire you and know you will always be her precious grandma no matter how old she gets or where she is.

What a beautiful relationship you share with your granddaughter Edelweiss...definitely something I hope to some day emulate..

The picture you posted is just too precious for words!!!
Thanks for sharing..:)

I just needed to share with you how happy I was. She's with her Daddy now, and after a day of three grandchildren I am ready to fall into bed. Good-night my friends, I love sharing with you my highs and sometimes my lows.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend too.
Hugs.

I couldn't help myself. Here is a short clip of the last two weekends.
Those meadows with the thousands of buttercups are right across from our front door. Little "A" ran through them, pretending she was a pony. Of course I had to take pictures! And little Michael and Manuel are such happy little fellas. with the most contagious laughs. And you'll see my Mom too,going on 89, and as pretty as a rose.

Edelweiss,
They say a picture is worth a thousand words!!! your video's are worth a Million...I wish I could be half as clever as you are my dear..Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us...I feel like I can just reach out and kiss those beautiful grandbabies cheeks and smell those glorious flowers...thanks for making my day!!!
