A Day in the Life of a Grammy (and Bapa!)
My daughter-in-love has needed some help with her children while she is recovering from an illness. My daughter’s middle boy also joined the fun yesterday!
This is our newest little grand pea pod! You could get lost in his dimples. He LOVES to smile! When you turn around to look at him he is already posed with a big look of anticipation just WAITING to smile back at you! So adorable! He is a heart melter!
Miss ‘A’ loves to have Grammy play dolls with her. Today we played ‘sisters’ with her Barbie dolls and pretended that we visited a neighbor lady who was lonely. We pretended to help her with the laundry. We both agreed it felt ‘good’ to help someone who was in need. *smile*
Mr. ‘C’ is admiring his latest puzzle. I’ve been saving a bucket of 100 piece puzzles until the grandchildren were old enough. Now is the time! They finished 2 of them and have 2 in the works on the dining room table. We need to get them finished so we can eat again!
The boys can only take so much inside play and the need to get their fingernails dirty overtakes them. Bapa saved a spot in our backyard where they can play with their trucks and dig until their heart is content. Miss A enjoys it, too!
Two of my middle grandchildren LOVE to bake! I let them try their hand at a no-bake cookie this time. I’m not sure if it’s the baking they enjoy or the fact they get to lick the bowl. At one point Mr. J had nearly his whole head in the bowl licking the remaining dough.
I bought a new card game called I SPY. They picked it up quickly and played so nice together!
Lo and behold! Guess who I found RETREATED in his RETREAT room! THE BAPA! Well, at least he was studying the Word!
Rest time! I’m not sure if the rest time is for the children or GRAMMY!
I put on a documentary about sharks for the boys to watch.
Well, that was our day! It’s not an exciting day by the world’s standards but it rates high on this Grammy’s list as one of life’s greatest pleasures! The only thing better would be to have all 9 of them here at the same time!

Looks like a wonderful day….for them and you, both. Since we don’t have granchildren, I can only imagine. =)
God bless ~E
PS – I’m assuming you’ve moved and these are pics inside your new house?
Wow, nine! How awesome is that! God bless you.

Great pictures! I enjoyed seeing scenes from your day.
What beautiful and “Happy Memory” pictures, aren’t grandchildren just the greatest blessing! Kole got to spend the night with me and I tell you, I climbed walls with him till 10:30……….we were spiderman and spidermimi!
Have a great day today, Tami
Nine! You are blessed! Some day, Lord willing, for me
. Reading about your Barbie-sister game, well, just pierced my heart. I don’t think I ever thought to play “servant” with my own children when they were young. Even now that’s not an emphasis in my life. 
How convicting. May it bear fruit. Thank you.
ohhh…how neat…enjoyed your post! Being a Grandma looks like lot of fun…
What a wonderful day, glad you got some rest too!
I enjoyed seeing your day with the Grandchildren. What fun!
Sounds like great fun to me!!!! Grandchildren are the best!
What a great day to spend with your gchildren! I will be one for the first time in July,and am getting excited!
wow, that is awesomeness!!!!!!! i love playing with my nieces (no nephews yet) , so i totally understand how amazing it is to be able to do that. hope you have a great Lords Day and week!!!! Praying for you and your family–
Sounds and looks like a great day. We had a wedding, but I’ll have to post about that later. Thank God for families.
that last picture was just precious!
In my book, you´ve done what is important! Chores, dishes, and other things to do can wait, but time with family, especially with grandkids, is time well spent!
Thank you for stopping by. I like your site! It is very, very hot and humid where we are and looking at your site is refreshing!
God bless you.
I will be a grandma the end of July! I can’t wait! It looks like a lot of fun!
Georgene,
You are such a great Grammy! I am learning alot from you as I await my first grandbaby! Besides being a great Grammy, thanks for being such a great example of a Titus 2 woman.
Now that is a wonderful visit. My kids never got a chance to meet their grandparents, they all died before a relationship could be formed. I think kids need grandparents so badly, and you look like you had a blessed day.

Hello, stopping by to say hello. I enjoyed on your pictures, nice post. Blessings,…Tip
I noticed you said daughter-in-love instead of law! I like that expression and I would love to do that with the girls that my boys marry. I think between showing you truly care for them and calling them love instead of law you make them feel loved and can build a better relationship with them! Of course, I still have several years left but better to think about what I will do than wait and try to figure it out then get it wrong for years! Thanks for that!
