Have you ever been in a position that if your colleagues, friends, and even family members saw you they would scratch their head and wonder what in the world? We have discovered a whole new side of ourselves when around our grandchildren. We make strange noises to get Ben to laugh; say "cheese" and make funny faces when taking a photo of Cora. We find that we get in the floor to play with Cora Ann . . . .yes . . . we actually get in the floor and worry about how we will get up later!
Grandchildren tend to take us back to our younger years mentally; just wish the body would go back as well! We spent three nights and two days with two of the most precious grandchildren and their parents, David and Jeni this past weekend!! We enjoyed the time we spent with all of them. We cherish the time we had with Cora and Ben. They are growing so fast. Cora Ann is calling Bill "Ganddad," and I was "Gandmaw," Me-Maw,' "Ma-Ma," and "MamMaw!"
We talk to Ben, and he smiles, kicks his legs, and waves his arms. He is such a happy baby, except when he gets hungry or is being given a bath! He is four months old and weighs . . . . .well lets just say he weighs quite a bit!!! Love every ounce of that baby boy!
Cora Ann warmed up to us very quickly after waking from an afternoon nap. We realize that she doesn't see us as often as her other grandparents, but she warmed up to us much quicker this trip. She held onto both our hands when walking! We are no longer "strangers!"
We love these babies so very much! We feel so humbled and honored that we are their grandparents . . .at least one set of their grandparents! :):) The unconditional love from a grandchild is priceless!
I am doing several post covering our visit. The following pictures show some of those "silly things" we do when around the grand babies!

Cora and MamMaw "cheesin'" for the camera!
Granddad "gooing" with Ben and causing him to smile! And he may be wondering what Granddad is trying to tell him!
Look at those eyes!!! They will melt your heart in a minute!
Look at those cheeks . . . . just want to pinch and cuddle him . . . .AND look at his happy face!!!!
Molly has always sat in Bills lap, and with Cora and Ben around, she was making sure she got her lap time in!!! Bill played with her when she was a pup, and she hasn't forgotten!
These are only a few of my favorite pictures from the weekend! I hope to be sharing more with you later. We didn't get a picture of the four of us together . . . . but hopefully we will be able to soon!
