The best part.....

The best part of being this great age...........is the grandchildren. Last week we visited the ones closest to us to see their halloween costumes. Molly came down the stairs as fast as her nearly 2 year old feet could get there and up into my arms. "ahsoseu" she said, hugging my neck. "ahsoseu" I looked at Spring with a "what?" look. "I'm so happy to see you" Spring interpreted. She's on my Christmas list for sure!

Spring also told me that when Molly goes to bed at night, she won't go down without her quilt or sometimes her sisters baby quilt. She pulls it 'round her chin and says, "Mummi made". She has to have a quilt that Mummi made. (She fails to give mention that her mother hand sewed all the squares Phoebe's quilt while on bedrest....I only hand quilted it).

From cute babies and toddlers, they grow up even faster than my own did. Levi is now 8 and all boy....which I sometimes forget. We're having dinner last night, just a usual Saturday night with friends and family and take out pizza.

Someone's glass made a funny noise on the table so to poke fun at Levi he is accused of ...well,....gas....at the table. He laughs. Oh, no," he says, "when I have an urge, and it's small, I look for a pillow and sit on it and do a little poof".

I started laughing, not believing that he either really does this or just makes such things up on the spot!

"And if I have a big one, I look for a big soft cushion to let that go"!!!!!

I kid you not!!! By that time, I was laying on the table with tears running down my face. Where is my little Levi? Next thing you know it will be mustaches and body odor!!

But Grands are still the best part!!!!
