Lazy Saturday Mornings Are Best!

Proverbs 17:6 ¶ Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

I know people probably don't believe it, but even with our daughter, son-in-law and the 4 grandkids next door, we don't see them THAT often to spend good quality time together. We can watch out our front window and see them coming and going (we're not spying but just happen to see them at times) but they live very busy lives and we don't get together every day. I pick up the four grandkids from school/nursery on Mondays and then feed the family dinner on Monday night. Amy has us over for dinner on Tuesday nights and that is it for any regular interaction for the week. Well, I keep the youngest grandchild on Wednesdays, but Jaden has gotten big enough to come over by himself so I don't necessarily see Amy on those mornings.

As I write all of that, I realize how very blessed I am to have my daughter and her family next door. I have friends whose grandkids live in Maryland, Morocco, Mississippi, etc. We are very blessed indeed to be right here ~~ next door to our crew. And I have to "admit" that we invited them over for Saturday breakfast and enjoyed an impromptu 3-hour visit. As I said, it is rare to have "quality" time so we surely enjoyed our laid-back Saturday morning. The pics were made after breakfast of the kids playing. Grandpa Richard was helping Belle and Josh with their kites. It was a fun time.
