Sweet Goodbye...

     We are still spending a fabulous time in the good ole US of A!  Our time has been wonderful.  My youngest daughter has gotten VERY attached to her grandparents once again.  Especially her Pawpaw!
     I have love to watch Emily and my dad play together.  Emily even has my dad smell her STINKY feet and they have even learned a little broadway "jazz hands" together! ha!  It has been so sweet to watch them together.  The last time we came to The States, Emily was scared of EVERY man we met. She barely let the ladies hold her or hug her, but if you were a man??.....forget it!  Now, as a mama, her staying away from boys does not really bother me too bad! ha ha!  I do love it though that she has a special place in her heart for her grandparents - ALL of them.  

     Emily follows her Pawpaw just about everywhere and I am thankful that even in his busy schedule, he makes time for my children to follow him around and pester him to death:)  Emily likes nothing more than to go somewhere with her Daddy.  Being here at my parent's house, she has transferred that excitement to my dad as well.  The other day my dad had to go to the church and she was told to just stay in the house and he would be back soon.  Knowing that her Pawpaw would be coming back in the house soon, Emily just stood at the screen door and waited.  She kept saying "Bye, Pawpaw!  I love you Pawpaw.  I miss you Pawpaw."  And then she waited and watched for signs of him returning!  What a sweet picture she was for this mama!
     I am so thankful for the relationship my children enjoy with all of their grandparents.  I am also thankful for the time they have been able to spend with them while we have been in America.  I feel so blessed to be able to watch a special relationship develop between my children and our parents.  

God is good!
