Fun with the Grandkids

Isaac Douglas Owen was born on May 14th and I got to go to stay with Logan and Rachelle and help with the kids. It was so much fun. Before Rachelle got home from the hospital, the girls had fun picking flowers in the back yard.

Then Lindsay had to go back to work the same day Rachelle was coming home from the hospital and her sister-in-law, who was going to watch Greysen had sick kids, so I got to watch Greysen for a few days along with the rest of the grandkids, so for the first time, I had all of my grandkids together.

I found a poem in a family history book we have called "Many More Martin Memories" that was a favorite of my Aunt Neva that I thought applied well here.

GRANDMOTHERS

They say that all Grandmothers
are inclined to brag a bit,
and that there is some truth in this,
I frankly must admit.

For since I've reached the Grandma stage, 

and all my friends have too,

I'm simply floored by all the bragging

These Grandmothers do.

To hear them rave, you'd think for sure

That this old human race

Was fast becoming super men

at a  tremendous pace!

Yet, when I see these boys and girls-

Their Grandma's pride and joy--

Each one seems to be

Quite an ordinary girl or boy.

Of course, I humor them along

and say I think they're fine-

But you can see the difference

If you've ever noticed mine.

My own are so much cuter, smarter, 

Handsomer than theirs,

I can afford to humor them

When they put on such airs!

I'm really glad that I don't brag

Like other Grandmas do

I've so much more to brag about

If I just wanted to!

I do love my grandkids and they are definitely the cutest, smartest, handsomest grandkids around. (Not bragging, of course).
