*This picture has nothing to do with this post* Ha!
That's Alice in Ava's bed (just in case you thought I shrunk my granddaughter.) These bed rails that you see kept Ava from going places in the middle of the night that she shouldn't be going and they made her feel safe. She was a good girl her first night away from mom and dad. She slept through the night with Alice snuggled up to her cheek.
Little Finn slept all through the night.
And grandma and grandpa even got plenty of sleep......no pictures of that because I can't take pictures of myself while I'm sleeping. I ain't that good!
Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good about our first day without mom and dad. I'm just wishing that I could be with them. You know to take care of them. I would put up bed rails to make sure that nothing happened to them. I would hold them in my arms when they were scared. I would sing songs to them to calm them at night. But since I can't do any of these things, I will pray. After all, they are much better in God's arms than in mine any old day.
As you may know, I have 2 of my grandchildren for 10 days while my eldest daughter, Allison, is in Africa. "Africa?" you say. Well yes. It is a bit of a mission trip. The mission? To educate people about the good things that Compassion International is doing and by informing the world through his blog my son in law, Ryan, will hopefully encourage his readers to sponsor a child or 2.
But what you may not know is that I am on a mission of my own. Sure, I'm not traveling to the other side of the world but I have a mission none the less. My mission......keep my lovely grandbabies alive while mom and dad are gone.
So, here I am Day 1 completed and both Ava, 3, and Finn, 7 months, are still breathing. One thing I did to insure that this would happen is taking all safety precautions while they slumbered.

ReplyDeleteLove you guys! Thanks for taking good care of our babies while we're away. We just arrived in Kenya about 3 hours ago. We're good so far...longest flight ever.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Reaffirms what I'm told- grandparents are parents first- that is- your babies will always be your first babies- and you'll always take care of them. Lovely!
