Extended family-this means you!!!

My last two posts have been about grandkids and this one is no different. [sorry!] I was thinking about what a trip it is to see the NEXT generation. Lets see, there are 7 or 8 now. I don't know Forrest's little one, but there's Skyler, Trissy, Serenity, Nathen, Brynna, Hannah, Jase, Legacy, Kaylah and the expected arrivals. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone! I decided that though I'm STILL not happy about saying a fond fare-thee-well to MY youth, this ALMOST makes it worth it. These little ones are so AMAZING! Watching my sisters with their grandkids is so much fun. Dinny jumping up and down, clapping her hands cuz Trissy learned something new, Heidi, mothering that 'little man' of hers to death. It really surprises me that Jase allows her too. Those of you that have seen him will know what I mean. When you look into his big, BIG eyes it's like you see the wisdom of the world in them. I don't call him a 'little man' for no reason! Yet, he takes to Heidi's mothering like a duck to water. I may not be happy about my body turning traitor on me, but hanging around for this new generation has been a total gas. [Oh, and I can't forget the girliest girl alive, Legacy, no wonder she's Daddy's little princess!!!!] Hey family, you did ALRIGHT!!! Keep 'um coming!
