Grandkids

After years of responsibility and worry raising our four children, now comes the parade of four wonderful, healthy, intelligent and good looking grandkids. Am I bragging? Yes I am.

Abigail is our first grandchild. She is seven going on thirteen and ready to start the second grade in the fall. She was born in Minnesota but she has a Montana heart for sure. Just to see her run, jump and smile is a delight. She is smart and doesn’t let grandpa get by with much.

Ella is five and a native Montana girl. She is a little shy with strangers but her million-dollar smile melts my heart. She is so excited to start kindergarten this fall in the same school with Abby. Watch out boys, Ella is going to steal your heart.

Then there is Sophia; an Oregon girl. Now here is a girl that has a mind of her own. She just turned four and can talk your ear off. She can drive the riding lawnmower, read books to the chickens she is raising and run like a wild woman. The look in her eyes will make you think twice before saying No.

Ben is two and a native Montanan. With that bushy blond hair you can’t help but want to hug him. He is into everything but particularly likes knobs, switches, buttons and anything that responds to his touch. He is fast afoot and when he hears the word “no”, he has a fit! A real boy: noise with dirt on it.

I confess it is getting harder to keep up with these grandkids but Judy and I love them. They are indeed a blessing from the Lord. Here’s what God’s Word says: “Old people are distinguished by grandchildren…and a good life gets passed on to the grandchildren.”

Now I have to go find a grandkid to hug!
