I'm almost always happy...

Mark shared something with us today that touched my heart. Mark said that they had a very busy day awhile back and Tiffani told Grey she was sorry she didn't have much time to play with him. Grey replied, "I'm almost always happy."

If you know Grey that is absolutely true. He's a gentle soul and patient. Grey doesn't like to be rushed and takes his time to enjoy whatever food I've prepared for dinner. He's often peacemaker. He has a cute sense of humor and is a delight to be around. He's smart and can read directions on how to play a game better than we can! He creative and artistic too. I feel like he's resilient in most situations. He can and has done hard things.

I had the day off from school Friday. I was thinking I could maybe pick up the boys early from school and go to the Tulip Festival. I found out Tiffani and Grahm were on a field trip and Grey had stayed home from school. So I asked if he would like to stroll around the Tulip Festival with me. I was delighted he said yes! He hummed and held my hand as we walked around. I would squeeze his hand and he would always squeeze back. Because he is almost always happy he makes others feel happy. I want to be more like Grey. 

As Grandpa said, that's the motto to live by for sure. "I'm almost always happy." We love you Grey. 

Lunch first then off to see the flowers!








Grey and I really liked seeing all the topiaries. They were made from flowers and other kinds of grasses.








Grey enjoyed finding hidden clues and solved a puzzle with ease.


It was a sweet experience to walk through the Tree of Life exhibit with Grey. I showed him the Rod of Iron and how there are scriptures written on it. I had a feeling at that moment that Grey will hold on and trust that the scriptures will be his guide through life. What a wonderful day with my precious grandson.



Because of Him...

Grandpa was helping Cash and brought Grahm over after the field trip. We enjoyed a few more hours together.







I finished Grey's afghan and I could tell he wanted to bring it home. I need to get busy and make one for Grahm. He takes the yarn out of the closet often to remind me!  


So much love for our grandsons...
