One of the true joys of aging is seeing your children become responsible adults. Another joy is grandchildren. Our daughter Megan and grandson Drew arrived at 2:30 this morning. It was sheer bliss to see Drew’s face light up when he saw Grandma and Grandpa. Our first guess as to why was that he remembered us from all our bonding this summer. Our second guess was that we looked pretty funny at that time of the night. Our third guess was that he is simply a gregarious little guy who smiles at just about anyone. Megan confirmed that our third guess was correct. Sigh! We’re doing our best to make ourselves memorable during this all-too-short three day visit. We’ve learned that having grandkids is one of the true joys of aging!

Here are a few pictures from the day today.

Here’s a picture of Megan and Drew…

We got to see first hand how much Drew is enjoying baby food - here rice cereal and sweet potatoes…

Grandma loves holding her little guy again…

And Grandma and Grandpa can’t give our little guy enough hugs and kisses…

Aunt Nora is really good at getting Drew to laugh…

Grandpa does his fair share of causing smiles and laughter…

This afternoon Drew and I enjoyed a little nap after our short night’s sleep and our busy day…
