2 + 1 = 3

Life keeps getting better and better! This past Tuesday, Justin and Tiffany found out that they are going to have a baby boy in April. Phil and I are so excited!

Taylor and Brooks + Grayson = 3 grandchildren!!

Now that's an equation for happiness!!!!

No Trick, but plenty of Treats!!!

Phil and I have decided to "treat" ourselves every Halloween by taking the day off to spend time with our grandchildren. Last year we spent time with Taylor on her first Halloween, and Friday, we spent time with Brooks on his first Halloween and Taylor. Brooks looked adorable in his elephant costume! He was a real trooper with those floppy big ears! Taylor looked precious in her Tinkerbell costume. As I was watching Justin and Katy get their children ready for Halloween, I was struck by the passage of time. It seems just a short while ago they were putting on their own costumes for a night of fun at our fall festival. Once again, I realized what a
"treat" it is to share in these special days. They go by all too quickly. There is no "trick" to making me happy: spending time with my family, watching Brooks smile and hearing him giggle, watching Taylor's face when she sees me....that's a TREAT!! And, I plan on treating myself as long as my grandchildren will tolerate me!
