We were fortunate to have Michael's mom & step-dad visit us from Texas this weekend. It was an absolutely delightful visit. Daddy Jack has such old-fashioned charm. Grandma Nummie is so talented - she sews and can lay tile with the best of them! Perhaps though, one of the truly most remarkable things about them though is that in their golden years they are raising their three year-old granddaughter, Leona (who is aptly nicknamed "Button"). Button is truly as cute as her nickname, with all the charm a three year-old girl has. She loved playing with her cousins' toys. The cousins weren't bad, but the toys were a big hit. We had several wonderful meals together, and got a little crispy watching Adam's baseball game together.
Growing up, I didn't really know my grandparents. Most of them were dead, and the one that was alive was... well, let's just say not really grandparent minded. I'm so grateful that my kids can know their grandparents. It's a shame we only get to see our parents once every year, but we're thankful for any chance we get. Mostly, we're thankful that our kids have grandparents in their lives because nothing is amazingly unconditional as the love grandparents can give. Thanks for the visit Anne & Jack. We hope for many more.
