We’re Feeling Old

After landing safely in South Carolina, the fun has begun with our visits to grandsons Andrew and Owie.  They’ve been growing like weeds and continually amaze us with the things they do.

Andrew has developed some amazing interests.  At eight years old, he thrives on studying math and science and loves to watch TV shows on Animal Planet, Discovery and NatGeo.  He has even taken up a serious passion for chess.

Yep, he kicked my butt, and I’ve been playing for over 40 years (sniff).

Owie is ever the funny man.  He loves to laugh and have fun.  He can’t wait to go to Disney World, he was even modeling one of Pa’s desert hats that he’s going to wear to keep cool.

Of course he gets tired of Pa trying to get the perfect picture.

Tonight we attended a musical put on by Andrew’s school.  It was lots of fun.  Marti was snapping away with her camera in an attempt to get the most memorable shot.

Andrew sang his heart out and it was so much fun to see another one of his talents. (He’s in the top row, right).

I was able to snap a picture of this little girl.

Who is she?  Why she is Andrew’s girlfriend!  Boy do we feel old! :cO

Just one more thing, an update on our granddaughter, Taylor.  Last week, due to a very bad ear infection, her eardrum ruptured.  It ruptured so badly, the entire membrane was destroyed and the doctor referred her to an ENT specialist.   Yesterday, her parents took her to the ENT appointment and her eardrum has completely healed, the membrane is completely intact with no holes, plus a hearing test revealed no hearing loss.  It has been a miracle to behold and we want to thank everyone for their positive thoughts and prayers.  We are very grateful for your support to our granddaughter.
