 Grandpa and I have been blessed to be able to see our grandchildren, Andy and Gracie, two weeks in a row. That's no small feat, considering that they live 300 miles away.

We arrived at their house before they did last Friday, Nov. 30. We let ourselves in (and took naps) before they arrived home from school.

When they drove into the garage, their mom said to them: Now be sure and give Grandma and Grandpa a hug.

Andy - 4 and a half - knew all too well that our visits were close together.

"I gave them a hug when they gave me pumpkin pie," following Thanksgiving dinner a week before, he told his mom. Surely, THAT should be enough!

God love these little cherubs!
