The Grandkids

It has been a great summer to be home and spend time with our grandkids! They are growing up so fast and becoming such fun little people to spend time with - I love it! Here is a quick update on each of them:

Dylan turned five in July! He is our oldest grandchild. He has become quite a good swimmer - I was amazed when I watched him retrieve some swim toys from the bottom of the pool this summer -- where did he learn to do that already??? He has taken swim lessons each summer and now he loves going to the pool.  He also plays soccer and goes to pre-school. He is a real joy and sweetheart!

Next, is Carter. He is going to turn four years old in October! He, too, enjoys going to the swimming pool. Clint and Michell have a nice community pool by their house and it is fun to take Carter and Chase over there to play in the water. He is getting pretty brave in the big pool and is learning to kick his legs and float around with my help. Carter also LOVES his cars! He always has a couple in his hands, but recently Mr. Potato head has become a new obsession!  He has such a tender heart and is a fun kid to be around!

  Chase is two and a half years old! He is a "mini-Clint"! Having an older brother makes him seem a little more grown up for his age. His favorite game is: Hide and Seek! We play that a lot and when we find each other, we hug and scream, and of course, he wants to do it again!!! :) And Chase is a talker! He has his numbers, alphabet, colors, etc. all down and is quite verbal! I love hearing him call me: Mimi! He is so precious - who couldn't love those eyes and that face???

 Naomi! Our grandDAUGHTER!!! Ahhh, how fun to have a little girl! She is two and a half years old as well (she and Chase are two weeks apart in age)! She is so petite and feminine, she loves her baby doll and her baby stroller, yet she is as likely to be wearing a straw hat and carrying a plastic sword of her brother's. I love to comb her beautiful hair. It is getting so long. When I want to put a clip or bow in it, she usually does not want it! I guess she is going to be a gymnast - she is so limber! Her little legs rotate in all directions! It does my heart good when she only wants "Mimi" to do it for her! She, too, is a real sweetheart!

We are so blessed by these four little grandchildren! God has been so good to give each of them good health, sweet dispositions, and happy hearts! This is a very wonderful season of life for Bob and me. I cherish each time we have to spend with each of them. They make my life so complete! I am so thankful for each of them!
