I thought this weekend was Easter....what's a grandma to do?

Hello Everyone,

I know I'm getting a late start to things, but never let it be said that I wasn't able to find a little bit of something something to spread some good cheer.

We have developed a kind of schedule......my kids and I.  My son comes over with my daughter on Monday nights and I try to find something to cook and they watch WWE (wrestling), for those of us who haven't a clue about this....lol.  It gives me an opportunity to catch up on their lives.  My son Isaac is especially difficult to tie down.  For somebody who isn't involved with a girlfriend anymore, he sure does manage to stay busy. My Mary is pregnant and we will know the sex of her baby on her next Dr. visit. We are all VERY excited about this.  My youngest son Ben and his fiancee' come over on Saturdays, leave my grandson Paxton with me and then come back on Sundays to pick him up.

Now, I get to have a moment of being a proud grandma.  My grandson who is only 6 months old is already doing the army crawl.  Let me tell you he is quick!  :-) Plus, he sits up by himself.....he's going to be an athletic prodigy.  Which honestly, wouldn't surprise me a bit because both his dad and mom were athletes in school.  I am anxious to meet the newest one who is due on September 16th.  There will be NO comparisons but something tells me they will be equally intelligent because I only made intelligent children. Hooray for my side, I'm a darn good kid.

There is another benefit to having young ones around also. It gives me an excellent excuse to watch cute Disney movies and other animated movies.  The newest one being the movie Frozen. Believe it or not the voice of the sister Elsa is the same gal (Idina Menzel, I hope I spelled that right) who played Maureen in the first movie version of "Rent", which I absolutely adored. Her voice gives me goose bumps....no kidding.

The thing is, if I'm going to be honest and I tend to be honest as much as possible, I'd have to say that these kids make some of the most mundane things joyful again.  I find myself singing a lot to Paxton, and he sleeps like a dream for me.  His little head lays down on my shoulder and it's like magic.  He is absolutely relaxed and I am too.  I thought this weekend was Easter, and it's not. This explains why my son and daughter in law looked at me so oddly....lol.  But it did remind me that a really good friend of mine is considered a completed Jew.  She is 100% Jewish, yet she also believes that Jesus is the Messiah and she's getting ready for their Passover celebration.  It stands to reason that this is something every believer should experience at least once in their lifetime.  I however, have not and I'm wishing I could be there with her physically.  I will be posting again before these take place, but just in case, Remember the passover and don't forget that Easter has nothing to do with bunnies.  Love each other and don't fear, your redeemer draweth nigh.  Love, Patty
