If someone would have told me my heart would expand
to love more than my two children
I am not sure I would have believed them
But when those two children had three children of their own
my heart was filled to over flowing love and joy and wonderment and adoration and praise.
We started our life as grandparents with one
then one became three
then three became six and
now we are so incredibly blessed to know and love each one of them.
Each are different. Each are individual. Each are unique.
Even the twins are very different from each other.
If someone would have told us that having each one of these precious little people would add to our family in ways that we could ever imagine.
Would I have believed them? 
Would I have believed them if they told me my daughter would have three daughters
and two would be identical twins?
OR my son would have three sons?
If someone would have told me that being a grandparent is the most precious, most rewarding, most exhausting, most challenging and the most reason to pray.
Would I have believed them?
I agree with every word!
So true.
I gave birth to one daughter, and through the miracle of blended families I now have NINE grandchildren.
And each one is precious.
How moving and precious! Your words and pictures capture the moment perfectly! Awesomeness. Thanks so much for stopping by!
How beautifully precious and a delight to read, placing your little people with these thoughts through your photos.

Yep, I understand.
And our grandparent issue is increasing rapidly. My daughter remarried and her husband has 3 teens. One of his family members…a cousin … wants them to adopt the baby that is on their way. SO, assuming it comes to pass, I will have another g-baby in November. That will put me at 10. Oldest will be 19 at the same time this baby who will be adopted is born. I need to be a GOOD grandma… encouraging,speaking our Lord's instructions,etc.
Bless you…and, BTW, you truly ARE a blessing to yours.
This is so precious! Thanks for stopping by my place and leading me here. I truly can't wait until the day my son and his wife make us grandparents. Such a beautiful picture of love you've shown.
Blessings.
All that love! If you had one more grandchild, you would still have just enough to pour out.
From one grandmother to another, all I can say is one great big AMEN, my friend!
