Pure Joy..........

Although many Austic children don't want to be touched and are not affectionate.......not the case with my precious Margo! She has her moments, but most of the time is very happy and loving! When she grabs my face and puts her nose to mine with a big grin.....I melt!!!!! Each of our grandchildren are special for MANY different reasons.....and all are loving....but when a child that is not supposed to react that way due to her disability kisses you it puts goose bumps on your arms:D

2010 Memories............

This year has been chocked full of memories of all my peeps growing and maturing:D What fun retirement has allowed me! I get to be a part of their lives on a more constant level! Milly and Margo now live within a couple of miles and I am able to see them at a moments notice........love that! The twins are taking part in many things that I can be a part of.......watching mostly...LOL. Hunter, Chase and Milly have been taking Tai Quando and Margo has been taking horseback riding and gymnastics. The twins are also involved in gymnastics and Milly will be starting mid January. Maddie has been in for visits every few months as well as us heading up to K.C. Soon there will be another in K.C.......come August....YEA! The kids are what my world revolves around.........in some ways it makes me feel like a mom again......something I always loved being:D Can't wait to see what these little ones bring to 2011!

The Twins Gymnastic Event!

Papa had to work and didn't get to come, but the boys joined us for dinner afterwards where they showed off their metals:D

Precious little boys!

Little Peeps........

This is how I feel about you....Chase, Hunter, Margo, Milly and Maddie!

The boys Christmas Program...ha..ha

I was invited to my first Christmas Program for the twins! Mommy said they had been practicing their songs for weeks and now was time to perform!!!!! They were so sweet:D Hunter was into it, but Chase kept looking longingly to mommy. He was not thrilled about staying up front and wanted to come and sit with Mommy in the audience. They sang a large number of Christmas songs and heard the Christmas story from the pastor. Lovely way to start the Christmas Holiday!!!!!

My Littlest Angel......Maddie

My smallest "Peeps" couldn't join us this year for Christmas......but.....the next best thing is hearing her voice on the phone and seeing pictures is (Almost) real time:D Here she is ready to party at her other grandma's house! She looks like a little package all tied up with ribbons and ready to be opened:D Merry Christmas Maddie XOXOXO

Merry Christmas from Our Home to Yours......

I hope your Holiday is filled with love, peace and family!
