we have four hours to my parents and three of my grandparents and four minutes to my husband’s parents who are caring for his grandma in their home.

I just love watching my little girl carried to Communion in her PAPA’s arms like a little princess nearly every Sunday. Thanks for the reminder.

What a blessing! I Wish my grandparents were still alive, but we spend as much time as possible with my kids’ grandparents.

Thanks for the heads up about grandparents day! My grandmother is actually here visiting this week (from 2000 miles away) so my boys and I will have to do a special dinner for great-grandma and the 2 grandmas who live local.

Thanks for the great post and reminder about our grandparents. Both sets of my grandparents are gone but not forgotten. I have the most wonderful memories of my grandparents and always will.

Ironically, my youngest will be waking up at her grandparents house on Sunday:-) She just loves sleep overs at their house:-)

So fortunate you are to still have grandparents. I miss mine terribly!
My parents are very active in my childrens lives, however they’ve yet to take them along with cousins. They would, though. We’ll miss them this Gparents day, they’re off on a cruise! But we will see my MIL.

My husband and I plan to be active grandparents. Our children have missed out on that because they are busy with their own lives.

Would your parents take 4 big dogs for the weekend too?? My mom would love for Joe and I to send kids her way if we had any.

Had to pause this morning to remember 9.11 – those who passed on and everyone who lost someone in the event. I felt so grateful for just being able to get up and breathe today. That’s a finer thing!

You are lucky to still have all the grandparents in your life. My parents and MIL are all gone.

Are they taking applications for next year? I have a 15, 13, 9, 7, 5, 3, and infant. I am sure they would all love a few nights on the farm, and I’d love some sleep!
