The Lord has blessed me in so many ways and close to my heart are my grandchildren.

I made wooden swords for the boys (all six of them) but had to put them away after several of us received savage slashes at the hands of young swordsmen
Shaving with Cole and Hunter. Later Alex wanted nothing to do with it but Sammy thought it was the cool thing to do
Alex will start kindergarten this fall
Here is a marvel that I started with the boys when each of them were about 1 1/2 years old. I took them in my arms to the cuckoo clock and we waited in anticipation for the birdie to appear. I would knock on the wall and say "hello cuckoo, hello cuckoo" and when the door opened and he did pop out it suprised each of them so they would jump in my arms. Now they wait for the cuckoo too appear each time they come to Grandpas house.
