So I try hard to divide my time as equally as I can among my grandchildren and sometimes I do ok and others I am sure I do not. I never want my children to feel as though I love one set of grandkids more then the others. I love spending time with each and every one of them.
Charlie has all of a sudden decided he wants to stay home at his house all the time. This may be just a phase for now, and I hope it is, but we can work around it if need be. We will take him to Roanoke sometime in July for a long weekend. June is half over and we are going to Erie for a wedding on the 18th till the 21st and then we are back to NC for the 1st birthday party of the triplets on the 27th. Tracey and Matt are going on a cruise the following week so the boys get to go to Matts parents for the following week till the 4th or 5th of July. I guess we will have to pin down a time for them to come to Roanoke.
Charlie has always wanted to come stay with us so I pray this phase passes quickly. Nathan is getting jeolous when we take Charlie without him so we will have to take him sometime soon for the night while Charlie wants to stay at his house. Nathan is so cute and at the same time is a handful. He can wipe me out pretty quickly but I still love spending time with him.
I kept Mia overnight one night this past week because her and Marcus were sick with ear infections and colds so Karla needed to have only one to get up with for one night at least. Mia needed lots of TLC and I was so happy to help.
John and I babysat with the triplets on Friday night so mommy and daddy could go to dinner and a movie or something and we had a blast. Marcus and Mia were feeling a bit better so they played and laughed with us. Josie is a little charmer and entertains herself so well. She is so very sweet and smiles and talks a bunch. She says oh oh all the time. Mia is our silly girl and crawls right up to me and John and wants us to pick her up all the time. (I am sure she would do it to everyone else also) I just want to beleive I am special. Marcus is such a mamas boy right now that it is great when they go out because then he wants us to hold him and entertain him. He is on the verge of walking. Maybe by his first birthday. They are all very sweet.
Until next time.

As I read this, Lila is sleeping peacefully in my lap:) I can identify with so many of your feelings about your family and our status as grandparents. What blessings these little ones are and how fast they grow! Lila's first week has been wonderful and in 2 days she was back to her birth weight. Her parents are very laid back and are sill marvelling at this beautiful little extention of themselves. I'm thankful for one more week to share with them and enjoy the newest family member as we anticipate little Noah's arrival in a few week. 09 will be the summer of babies for us!
