@artscaping. What a cutie! I have only video chat with my one and only grandchild. He is a ham, when he knows his parents are filming him, he would say "cheese"! He's going to be 2 next month and they're toilet training him. Apparently nowadays there's a "weekend method". I am going to visit my daughter for a week come Saturday, both she and her husband and myself have been self quarantine for 3 months so we think it's pretty safe. After I come back, I'll try to get an audience with my grandson Caleb. He's growing up too fast, knows all the letters of the alphabet and numbers too. I'm missing all that and sometimes I'm sad. But I'm grateful we are all well. Here's to all the grandparents who don't get to hug their grandchildren.

Oh, artscaping, How perfectly adorable is this little fetching Miss Millie!

Oh, she's so adorable. I'd love to see that little one and love her. She looks a lot like mine when they were babies. I just love babies--that's my thing. They just blab to me. My daughter got upset when her baby started smiling and cooing and talking to me. I was saying: "tell grandma all about it". She did. Just talked and talked. My daughter got upset and said: Mom, how come she talks to you like that and not to me". Well, babies know when you are crazy about them and you talk to them and smile. Babies love it. Just lie that little doll baby is talking to her grandma! I loved babysitting my great grandson when he was born and until he was two and one/half. I just fell in love with him. I can't explain it but I fell completely in love with my grandbabies! I love them so much! Some of them are adults. My one grandson wrote me a message saying: I have loved you since I was born and you give the greatest hugs.

Greetings again to all of the Grandmothers and Grandfathers. Are you already thinking about the holidays and remembering all the good times you have had with your grandchildren. They grow so fast. Unfortunately, this will not be the year to meet in person. We have spent a couple of weeks exploring options for physical contact and no matter how much we want to make arrangements, we just don't feel safe. Our two youngest live in Austin, Texas and we have decided that with the current rise in the COVID 19 spread, we will not want to risk infecting any of our family members. Our older ones have boyfriends now so it isn't easy to get their attention.

Do you have any ideas for how to have Thanksgiving and Christmas with little ones (1 and 3).......on a Zoom call. Would you like to share them with all of us? We need an activity that keeps their attention for more than 90 seconds.

Thanks......
Chris
