A Southern Sunday Post…"Are You Kidding Me?"

Really? 
Really, Kevin? ….I am not OLD enough to be a grandparent! And yet…I SOOOO am!

In fact, I'm going to Grandparent's Day tomorrow! 
Yes…I AM! Yes, I AM!! 
Maybe if I repeat it enough times it will finally sink in!

(And the day you see this sign at my house is the day you know that I have officially lost it!!)

But I haven't lost it when I know that making time to spend with Layton is one of the greatest joys and one of the biggest blessings that could ever happen to us!

Isn't he just the cutest thing you've ever seen in your life??? Oh..wait, I mean isn't SHE the cutest thing you've ever seen in your life?

They are both pretty darn cute….

And I'm happy to tell you that I love them both more than all the rice in China!

And this family of ours makes me really happy! 

I guess you could say, I am one proud 'Grandma'!

So I will go to Grandparent's Day tomorrow with my head held high! As long as Jim is with me…

As long as we can go through this together, knowing that we are not old…we are just Grandparents!

And being Grandparent's is truly grand…trust me on this one! It is something to be proud of!

Just like Montgomery Gentry's song….

That's Something To Be Proud Of!

Especially when Layton is your grandchild! I for one could not be any more proud of her than I am! 

Hope you all have a wonderful week! Wish me well as we head off to Grandparent's Day! Keep telling me it's ok!
And, just because I'm in a "Thanksgiving Kind A Mood" I wish you would try this recipe for Turkey in a Slow Cooker! It was truly delicious!! I will be making this often…
Have a great week!
