'Grandee'--I LOVE it, but------

What a busy couple of days I've had! Brandon and Rachel [and children] are in St. George for Rachel's sisters wedding. I haven't seen a lot of the kids [understandable] but I did have the children for a few hours last night. I knew they'd be over [all three of them] and had really looked forward to it. Oh my gosh, what an eye-opener that was. 3 children wanting 3 different things at the SAME time. Serenity, as usual, was a absolute darling but the child does have to eat SOMETIME! Hannah [who was feeling a bit fussy] wasn't 'up' for not having my FULL attention. That got tricky. Brynna [thank the good lord] is a self entertainer. She also eats 'on the fly' so she was totally no trouble. If not for Breane things could have gotten really REALLY hairy. Dennis [won't tell you what I thought of HIS IDEA] thought It'd be fun to surprise me with a 'date night.' [and yes he DID know I was going to have the Children.] The joke was on him though. 15 minutes of my grandchildren and he was 'out the door.' Trust me, I was PERFECTLY ok with saying good-bye to THAT extra pressure. I'm certain little children weren't that tiring when I was raising mine? I do now, FIRMLY believe that parents need to be younger than my 'almost' 50 years. Today I ended up working a full shift, running to Target, racing home to wrap the wedding gift, running to the reception, coming home and doing the dishes and I'm not half as tired as I was by the time Brandon came for the children last night.

They looked so cute in their little dresses for the wedding. All three girls had black and white dresses with a touch of red. I sure hope Rachel gets a 'bunch' of pictures of them. I sure love those little cuties.

Yeah I just bet Dennis went running for the door, being such a child lover as he is an everything. I told Brady what he did and Brady's response was "Shocker". I hope you're doing well, and thanks so much for updating. You're the best!

Thanks again Mom! You are a lifesaver! Sorry that you haven't seen much of me on this trip. Maybe I will come to your work to visit and such. Love you!
