Keep involved in the life of those boys and they'll never forget their Grandma! They'll love you forever and mourn over you when you're gone. Great photo. Yes, I was right by my wife's side and peeked over the drape as my little daughter was being delivered c-section. I've watched many surgeries in my time, so I wasn't bothered by the blood, etc. LOL! Conception, pregnancy, and delivery -- they're all a MIRACLE in my opinion. When you consider all the mechanisms and hormones that come into play during the development of the little human, it's just mind-boggling. Even after the birth, the whole breast-feeding thing - . Amazing!

Thanks, Ladies gadgets - I think he is doing ok in the new school. At first he was very upset, not by just changing school systems, but then about which school he would have to attend. But, he is making new friends. I'm not sure how he is doing about homework and such. He should be getting a report card soon and I'm assuming it will be an average of his grades from both schools. I haven't called him this week as I feel his mom thinks I'm being pushy, so I'll call over the weekend. peg - That must have been very hard to leave your foster brother behind even if it was the best thing for him. :( mammie - thanks for thinking of him. I am also hoping it works out. I'm now past the self-serving phase of wishing he would behave so badly his mom would send him back. *ouch*

Enjoy the precious time you are so blessed to have with those grandkids. My 4 grands moved 1000 miles away 15 months ago and I miss them terribly. We had 5 wonderful years together and so much fun!" Grandkids are your reward for not having killed your kids when they were young."

I hate watching wrestling...Jeff used to wrestle...Now Jeff is helping coach at the high school I went to. He said two of his boys have neck injuries and are out...I is scary to watch. Also one meet we went to when Jeff was wrestling , we all heard a loud POP...and this kids arm was just dangling. I know Nate is good at what he's doing but it is still scary. And he keeps good grades...So does his sister who is a junior...she has a 4.0 Don't know what Nate's is...and lil sis struggles...she is the one who vision in one eye was 20/300 at one time...It is much better now but still not the best...She is the youngest (13) and is the tallest of the bunch...and she is a basketball player...and softball...She loves those sports. We go when the meets are close. patti
