Snips and Snails?

Last week I wrote, “Pretty in Pink,” which was about our four great-granddaughters. This week I'm devoting a post to our two great-grandsons. These little boys each have an older sister. I won’t detail the potential problems with having an older sister, but Shawn Binder in Thought Catalog highlights one advantage. He writes, “As a younger brother you’re able to see just which topics set your parents off and which things you’re able to get away with. It’s easier to be seen as, “the golden child,” when your sister has already given you the blue print as to where the parental land mines are located.”

As I was growing up I liked rhyme about little girls being made of “sugar and spice and everything nice” and little boys being made of “snips and snails and puppy dog tails.” However, as a great-grandma, I know that our little guys are made of everything nice.

Sawyer Brent Walker loves playing outdoors, being an Avenger, going on weekend outings, and helping bake cookies.    


 
Greyson Quinn Fuller loves toys, his bath, rides in his stroller, warm spring weather, and playing with his dog, Cody.

Love these precious little boys!

Mother

You made me who I am today. You taught me values and instilled in me the love of learning.  Everything about my life reminds me of the committed Christian mother you were. 

Mama, Daddy, me, and big bro, David.

Pretty In Pink

We have six great-grandchildren – four girls and two boys. This post is about the girls. The boys will get equal time in their own post.


Olivia Jean loves to read, play dress-up, go on family weekend outings, and perform with her ballet class.



Emma Ruth loves exploring, pets, cooking with her grandma, and coloring. 



Sophia Alexandra loves playing in the snow, doing crafts with her mommy, taking ballet lessons, and playing soccer.



Mackenzie Kyle loves the zoo, hugging her good buddy, taking swimming lessons and, following the example of the medical team who cared for her after a recent fracture, being the caregiver for her dog, Jovie.

Love all of my sweet little girls!
