You're a very lucky grandpa! They are beautiful kids!
Have a good Sunday Rick! ;-)
Rick your grandchildren are all so adorable! I love the nature shots with Graydon, he's sure having his own fun, not a care in the world. Your granddaughters are going to cause tons of grief for their parents, daddy's going to have to go out and buy a shotgun... if he doesn't already own one! lol I love your quotes, and couldn't agree more that our precious grandchildren are a gift from God. Have a fantastic Sunday and I don't know how cowboy boots would fare in Florida, sandals all the way Rick BUT no socks! lol ttyl
Oh, are all the blogs updated like this or did you switch over? It took me a few minutes to figure out how to comment, but lo and behold I figured it out. Good thing I'm in university or I may have never figured out how to comment! lol
I thought I already left a comment, but here goes the 2nd try....
This is quite a change! Took me by surprise, but looks great. Your grandchildren are precious. You're quite lucky! :)
What beautiful children and very careful!
Congratulations on your lovely family...
Warm hug and flowers from brazilian spring.
beautiful blessings! (this is my third try at leaving a comment - hope this one goes through)
I have to give a hearty amen to each of the quotes on this one. I just got # 19 grandchild about three weeks ago and # 20 three days ago.
Interesting new format, I'm not sure yet but I do like the display of so many of your beautiful photos.
I don't think my comment went thru...

Thank you, Lúcia ! I sure am, and they bring us a lot of joy. Have a great weekend !
Hi Darlene (I'm a bit late getting back to my blog this week). I found these quotes to be very appropriate too so I thought I'd share them. As for my son-in-law - yep, he's getting prepared ;-) Ha ha - no socks with the sandals (so far !) - but it's only going to be 10C here tomorrow morning ! btw - I went back to my old template - too many people found the new style confusing. Enjoy your weekend.
Thanks, Elizabeth - I truly am blessed ! (sorry about the confusion - I liked the new views too, but I've changed back - for now).
Obrigado, teca ! Yes, we are truly blessed with wonderful grandchildren ! I hope you are enjoying your beautiful warm spring, with many beijos !
Thank you, Leslie ! (I've returned to the former template - s/b back to 'normal'. Thanks for trying 3 times !).
Scott - congratulations !! Wow - 20 ! That makes for very interesting family get-togethers. (I too liked some of the new blogger features but I've gone back for now - some things went 'missing' and there was confusion).
Thank you, Tricia - the eyes always have it ! (thanks for your persistence in commenting - I appreciate it).
Thank you, Soraia !
Thanks, Lisa - I agree ! We use Skype video calls to stay in touch - a technology miracle !
Obrigado, Fábio ! Yes - they are happy, and that makes us happy !
Merci very much, Marty ! Our grandchildren fill us with bonheur, without a doubt. We hope to see them grow up into beautiful young adults just as they are beautiful young children - blessings from God ! I send toi many happy bisous and wish you a wonderful fin de semaine !
Hello Magda - thank you for your warm comment ! We receive much joy from our grandchildren ! Thank you for liking the new blog style. I went back to the previous one because the new one was a little confusing. Have a super weekend !
Thank you Susan (and thanks for your comment attempts).
Absolutely, Dawn ! Thank you - have a great weekend !
Thank you, Mariiana !
Thanks, Saz ! I hope your week went well.
Thank you, Betty - of course we think they're the best, brightest, and most beautiful in the world ! ;-) Have a wonderful weekend too.
Hallo Rick, the beautiful little faces, the little boy in the garden,
the nature, clean air to breathe,
best regards Jasmin
here is no more leaf on the tree .... Autumn-winter
Hello Jasmin - ah yes, we so enjoy having them over. Innocent faces, full of joy - they fill our hearts with joy ! And yes, the trees back home are also bare and the snow is starting to fly. We're thankful to be in a warm place. I hope your weekend is a good one !
