A week with family!

It's been a busy week with Jenelle, Rob and the grandchildren here. Emily at 6 years, the oldest of our grandchildren can be a real helper and when their new arrival comes in March I'm sure she will be a little mother herself. She had some practice this week as we visited an orphanage with about 35 kids younger than 2 years old. She loved it as we all did. The younger two just have to stay out of her way! Braelyn helped Sheryl with the dishes a couple times and always wanted to be close to the mixer as the cookies were being baked. Grady.....well he just wanted Grandpa! His mom was ok too, but Sheryl had a tough time that he wasn't really interested in her doing anything with him. Last night Rolando, our GT discipler was here for dinner and Grady wanted to be his best friend. Over Christmas when our entire family is together in Florida we'll see who gets grandpa's attention, Grady or Tristan, they're both my little guys! Rob flew back to Florida this afternoon with the 2 girls but Jenelle stayed for another day and is planning to return early in the morning with Grady. Through the night her stomach started giving her problems and she felt quite miserable. Being 6 month pregnant with a kicking boy under her stomach, I can imagine doesn't feel very good. Pray that through the night everything clears up and she does well traveling home tomorrow. Forgot also that maybe Rob needs prayer with the 2 girls overnight!!
Even last year when Emily was here at 5 years old it was amazing how much she understood why the children were at a home togethe,r and not with their own mommys and daddys. This year the highlight of their visit was handing out homemade cookies to the children. The smiles say everything!
