My Grandchildren

I wonder if anyone has ever felt the exhilaration or peace in hugging their grandchildren as I do. Sometimes I just need to find them and get a fill-up hug right away! I feel wonderful as they run to see me and practically bury their heads into me.
I have a total of 5 grandbabies, ages: 10, 7, 6, 2 and 1 month! 2 girls and 3 boys. My challenge is to love them and be a good example to them.
Two stories of recent: My Daughter Erin called me one morning and it had snowed beautifully, and snow landscapes were everywhere but the streets were all clear. She said that Emberlii had said how pretty the trees were, and Erin agreed and Emberlii said " Yes, My grandma made them for me!!" Erin called me right away to tell me! The second story was later that week and I came over to see the kids after school, Anabel gave me -not the regular hug, but she leaned on me and sniffed a long time on my sweater , I asked her why and she said" mmmmm-- I smell answers!" I looked at her for a minute and smiled and said are you doing your homework?? She said "I am trying and need your help!"
My grandmother had only one granddaughter, I have been blessed with 2. I am very thankful!
