Hi Mrs. G
Saw the pictures of your gang on FB...is the little boy S's soon-to-be stepchild?
the little redhead, yes. He's so adorable. He came up to me tonight and told me I was going to be his Step-Grandma soon. I just looked him in the eye and told him he was already my grandson, so call me Grandma now. Big smile and hugs were given. He is 6 years old
You did more for him than you know.....
You can't help but love him. When I bought this year, I bought for him like I bought for my blood. They are all the same to me.
Children have no recourse in this life. They love unconditionally if we let them and even if we do not they still love.
That is a lot of love.
He's blessed to have you as his grandma. Some day, I will have grandchildren. I'm satisfied to wait for my daughter to be settled a bit more and would rather they wait until they are in a house rather than their little apartment. I don't know if my son will ever have kids.
In the meantime, I spoil my nieces and nephews little ones.
his grandmother, moms mom, doesn't like his daddy at all, therefore she doesn't care a lot about E either. No pictures of him on facebook, no bragging about him, etc. Kids pick up on this and I am going to do my best to love that little boy and give him what he deserves.
The neighbor's grandchildren are also on my list to spoil. I have some things I plan to make for them that I had hoped to do before Christmas. Orders got in the way and now I have an afghan I have to do for the next great-niece due in February so that bumped them a bit farther down the list. The afghan is on my list as soon as I finish the sweater I started the other day. I might have their surprises done for Valentine's day.
I loaded us up this morning on firewood. Hubby was impressed with my ninja stacking skills...that cart is full. I told him all of my jigsaw puzzles I did growing up are paying off. That cart was strategically packed and nothing was falling off. The wagon is outside the door with at least another half of a cart in it.
We just have a small rack next to the stove. It will hold a full days worth in this weather.
I am rolling north tomorrow to replace the ric of wood that was stolen from us.
