Monday

I got to see my grandkids!!! I decided I would just stop by, and if my reception was less than warm, I would just ask to see the kids on the porch, find out about the soccer game, get hugs and then head out. Turned out that Mary just stayed in her bedroom. I walked on back to the boys room. Wyatt was so tuned into the tv that he didn't even look up when I walked in or when I said hello. So after speaking with Christian for a bit I walked over to where Wyatt was sitting and put my head in between him and the tv. When he saw me he grinned and said, "MeMa!". I got a big hug then.

I let Michael know that I was turning the phone back on - if it was okay with him. I stopped by later that night to let him know it was back on. Another benefit of that drive by was getting another hug from the boys.

Life is good.

Today I sent Christian a card with a small note and a stamped envelope so that he could write back. I always wrote to my Grandma. She was in Springfield and I was always far away. She always wrote and kept in touch with me. Even though the boys are just 20 minutes away I'm sure he'll enjoy getting mail plus it will help him with this writing skills.
