I'm thankful...

I'm Thankful for Grandparents.  I was fortunate to have awesome grandparents.  The best part is how different they are.  I am able to look to both of them for advice and examples but for different things.

My paternal grandparents are simply good people.  They are a tremendous examples of being Christ like.  Grandma Baugh doesn't teach with words but with love and actions.  Meanwhile Grandpa was a no nonsense man.  He believes in frugality, saving, hard work, and discipline.  No one gets away with anything when Grandpa is around.  Together they are an amazing example of how a husband and wife should be.  They truly cleave to one another.  They do nearly everything together and it has been that way as long as I can remember. 



Grandma Wez is a lion in a kitten's body.  She is a small petite woman.  But she is as strong as a giant. She has been an example of being a strong, capable, intelligent women.  As a child I admired her sense of style and confidence.  But as an adult I was impressed with her compassion, understanding, and friendship.




My grandparents have been such an important blessing in my life that it makes me want to do all I can to foster that relationship between Brandt and my parents and our children.  I wish we lived closer so the kids could spend more time with them.  But I'm thankful that my kids have been blessed with grandparents as wonderful as I have.
