A day has been set aside for the nation to honor our Grandparents. I'm sure there are many grandparents who appreciate this day because that may be the only time they hear from their grandchildren! Bill and I were both fortunate in being able to be close to our grandparents - oh the memories we both have - precious memories.
Each day we feel blessed to have a gorgeous grand-daughter, Cora Ann. The distance in miles from her is not as far as it was, and we feel so blessed because we love this baby girl more than words could ever tell. I just pray that she knows how strong that love is as she gets older. We pray that she is healthy and has all that she needs. We know that she is being raised in a good Christian home and that when the time comes, she will accept Jesus Christ as her Savior. She is such a doll, and is the joy of our lives.
The following pictures are just a glimpse of the joy we see when around Cora Ann. The pure joy of being a child and enjoying life and those around you . . . that's what I hope you will see when you look at the pictures. We can hear her giggles, see her eyes twinkling, and feel her hugs when looking at the pictures we have!!!
The curiosity of the young when looking at the petals on the flowers!
The joy on her face after receiving a new toy from Granddad and Mammaw.
The thrill of bouncing on a ball.
Okay, maybe she's not thrilled at staying still for a photo shot with Granddad and Mammaw - at least we were happy! :)
Mammaw was making a noise with her tongue . . . Cora was trying to figure out how to make the same noise!!!
The biggest blue eyes that just grab our hearts! Was she sleepy - oh no - she was wanting to stay up a little longer!
Is it okay if I pet the dog??? She loved Speedy, but he was shaking like a leaf!
Apparently she stands with her hands behind her back a lot as seen in this picture . . . just like her Granddad!
Can you hear her giggle?? I can!!! She loved the musical animals at her Great-Mammaw Layne's!
The adventure she had running up and down the ramp just about gave us a heart-attack! :)
When with Cora Ann, we play again on the dusty lanes of our childhood as we return to the memories of our Grandparents. They were always bigger than life companions who helped us bridge our childhood and maturity as we entered adulthood. Our grandparents were a true blessing to us, as we hope one day we will be to you Cora Ann!
WE LOVE YOU CORA ANN!!!!!

By going up and down the ramp she made grand dad move faster than he had in 20 years:)
