WELCOME

You know the saying

"It takes a village to raise a child."

My son and his wife decided after their children


were born, that they wanted my husband and

I to be live-in-grandparents.

We live under the same roof with our son,

his lovely wife and our two adorable grandchildren.


WE ARE THE DAILY GRANDPARENTS!

Small Acts of love and Kindness Always Count

Tip # 7 Turn something ordinary into something special to let your grandchild know you are thinking about them.On Sunday mornings Grandpa always makes pancakes for our two grandchildren. In February the pancakes are often pink and heart shaped. In March they may be green and clover shaped, in April they may look like Easter eggs or spring flowers. I'm sure you get the picture. He uses food coloring and large sharp cookie cutters to cut the shapes from the round pancakes once they are cooked. I eat the scraps.  When I was little my grandma use to bring me a special treat whenever she went to the bakery. I still remember the gingerbread men at Christmas time. It was a small thing, but I knew she was thinking about me. So do something special to let your grandchildren know that they are always on your mind.
