Humor me please...

And you thought you had the greatest, smartest, funniest, and most beautiful grandchildren in the world? NOT!! I am blessed to have them. I don't think I do...I know I do! Everytime I see them they have learned something new and exciting. Now that they live a hour from us and we don't get to see them each day....I am amazed everytime I do get to see them as to how they have changed. Maybe they are a small bit taller, weigh a few ounces heavier, their hair is a few inches longer...fact of the matter is...they are changing so quickly. Tripp is all boy and Makinley is all little girl....they compliment each other. It reminds me how it must have been with my mom raising my baby sister and I so many years ago. I have a faint memory of my Grandfather Sheneman taking me out on his porch one night and showing me the full moon. I couldn't have been much older than Tripp is now. Unfortunately, he died when I was only a few years old so I never got to know him and this is the only real memory I have of him. I know he loved me and I can only imagine how he must have felt when I was born....a Sheneman male to carry on his legacy.
Granddad...I hope I've made you as proud of me as I am of my grandchildren.
