Special Time With Our Granddaughter

This is our granddaughter Mariah walking along the beach with one of her parents at Myrtle Beach SC a few weeks ago.

Mariah spent the night with us last night.She sleeps really well here.This is only the second time she has spent the night with us and away from her parents.She adapts so well that you would think that it is something she does quite often.

She is 3 and very active.Kept hubby and me very busy since she loves to get into everything.As soon as her feet hit the floor in the morning she is ready for a new day.We are use to her older brother that when his feet hit the floor in the morning it takes him awhile to get moving.

Wish our weather would have been nicer today.It was a cold rainy day that felt more like February.The wind was blowing hard and the temperature was only in the mid 30's.If it had been a degree or two colder we would have had snow.

The red bud and Bradford pear trees are starting to bloom.Can't really enjoy all of the pretty colors with all of the rain and wind we are experiencing.We are suppose to have rain both tomorrow and Saturday then clear off and be in the upper 50's on Sunday.

The book fair at our grandson's school was really nice the other evening.The school librarian wasn't surprised with our grandson's book selections since she knows his love of maps and how he can tell people directions to different places.

I love the nights our grandson spends the night with us.

We had a light mist today and the temps dropped some through the day. We have a chance of severe weather tomorrow and Saturday.

And yes, our grass got very brown last summer. We have been blessed with rain this year and our grass is green.

Grandchildren are the greatest. Yours are precious and it sounds like you've had a great time together. We just found out that our 6th grandchild is on the way. They are all precious and we are blessed to be living in the same city - so we see them often.
Hope your weather improves!
God Bless

She looks cute in that little pink dress! Bet she enjoyed the visit as much as the grandparents.

Pretty in pink is your granddaughter. :-)

I think your grandson's interest in maps is really cool. I wonder if he will travel a lot in his lifetime.
My father was a map reader and spent many hours with maps. My dad loved to drive!!
