Elylah and I are reading and listening to a CD. This book is "Grandpa's Magical Accordian" by my dear blogger friend, Jessica Errico and the music is by her husband, Tony Errico. Check it out here: http://3partharmony.org/ This would make a wonderful Christmas present for the little people in your life!
I am so filled with joy to see the world through the eyes of a child. Ethan is very close to walking on his own...and he loves to inch his way over to the tree! I can't believe he is my 4th grandchild! How'd THAT happen so fast??
Here he goes, sneaking up the steps...
But what goes up, must come down...he's "sliding"...
This photo came out a little dark, but it was so precious. It was only 15 degrees here in NE Ohio, and though they were excited to see a light snowfall, there was no way we could play outside!
Elylah begged me to promise she could do a few more cookies after a little nap. She is using her equipment and apron that Aunt Ellie gave her last year...I love having a helper in the kitchen after raising two boys and no daughters!
I helped her quickly whip up some frosting, and to save time, she just frosted and decorated some store bought, already baked sugar cookies. Worked for her, worked for me! She has her children's recipe book and I heard her muttering "Step One", "Step Two" etc. as she worked. She is just turning four on Christmas Eve, so she's not really reading yet. It was so cute!
I think part of the joy of grandparenting must come from the experience of seeing how fast our own children grew up and left the nest. (sniff, sniff)... I treasure each and every moment I have with the little ones, knowing how quickly it all will be a memory (sniff again). My SC family can't come up till New Year's weekend, with Andy have responsibilities at the church. So we will just be extending our Christmas season out another week or 10 days! I can't wait till they all get here and share some more pictures.

I'm so glad you shared these pictures with these adorable grands of yours. Love the PJ's! I was wondering how Elylah is pronounced...she is such a sweetie!
Yes, enjoy every moment, they pass way to soon!
Oh how cute. Love the photos. I see you have your very own "Chrismoose" too!
thanks Pat! I cried the other day when you mentioned that your grands are no longer little! It happens so fast doesn't it! Elylah's mommy is Filipino and made up her name. It is pronounced e-LIE-la. Her middle name is Angelyn. She is a precious little girl and a great blessing to me. Our personalities click so well. God is good!
Thanks Rose! yes, a friend gave the little sleeper as a hand-me-down and I was so happy it just fit Ethan!
Everyone needs a little Chrismoose, don't ya think?!
Keep those grand kid's pictures coming!
I LOOOOVE it!
Oh Judy, you are so sweet! I love the pics of your grands too!
I love reading about your grandchildren. And of course seeing pictures of them. I think it is wonderful that you care for them like this. I love Ethans little outfit...so darn cute! I just love Elylah's name...so beautiful and fitting for such a pretty girl and she looks sweet too. What wonderful memories you are making with them!
ooohhhhh....how cute can it get? That little red suit is adorable!
Jacquelyn...your grandkids are so cute, I loved the photo of Elylah standing in the chair with her apron...she looks like a serious baker. The one of them looking out at the snow is special too. Enjoy this time...they grow up even faster than our own kids I believe.
Love those photos! You have a beautiful blog!
Oh Sweet Friend,
Thank you for promoting my book!
It really was a joy to create and seeing Elylah reading it warmed my heart so!
You are a blessed Grandmother and a blessing to your whole family!
Love in the Lamb ~
