Full tummies, spiritual duty done, fevers gone, the parents brought the grandkids to our house! It was the first of March....came in like lambs, they did. Romped in the wilds like lions before they left.
We hadn't seen some of the grandkids in weeks due to colds, stomach bugs, and sinus infections, and the two sets of grandkids hadn't been together at our house in even longer than that!
So, I grabbed each one at opportune times and gave them hugs and cuddles and kisses and I love yous.
Master Jacob got his when he was going out the door. If hugs and kisses goodbye don't work out just right, he corrects it, and makes us do it all over again, LOL, the rascal.
Ainsley stood in front me me, the shortest littlest thing of the bunch, looking up with earnest eyes, ne'er saying a word, and bending her knees in faux jumps. That's sign language for pick me up! "Of course, sweet buttercup!"
Noelle got hers at church. Her sister was taken outside by dad for bad behavior, so Noelle shuffled into her pink coat and was halfway down the stairs to "go see" before I could grab her. That's when she and I got the cuddles, LOL, wiggling cuddles.
Jayden, starting to feel too big, got a quick hug. Alayna melted into her cuddle looking up at me with big open brown eyes of happiness. Then here at home, timed appropriately, Miss Lilly got nabbed while going between the couch and the wall.
While I was holding Lilly who is in Kindergarten, and growing into a leggy nice lady, I gave her a kiss on the forehead, told her sweet things, and just enjoyed the moment. After a minute, and just a few seconds of cuddles, she asks, very politely, and as if this was all against her will, "Can I get up now?"
Chuckle. The little lambs are growing!
