Grandparents

About a month and a half ago I got a call from my DeeDee (or my grandma, who doesn't like to be called Grandma because it makes her feel old, so we call her DeeDee). She lives 1150 miles away from me. I know because we have driven it many times, and so has she. She was calling to say they wanted to come out and surprise my mom by visiting. Now my grandparents are in their 80's, and in pretty good health, but I was kind of nervous about them driving 2 days to get here. They didn't want anyone else to know. I had to keep a secret. I prayed really hard the 2 days they were driving, and they arrived safely. I wish I would have taken a picture of my mom as she saw them walk into her library Thursday afternoon. I walked in (she was expecting me) and asked some question and as she is answering me she looks at the door and in walk her parents. Her mouth dropped open, her face went white, and she instantly started crying. I knew I got that trait from my mom :) It was a fun, tearful reunion. They were able to make it to one of Miss A's volleyball games which was super fun for her. She didn't know they were coming either. We just walked in and her mouth went wide open and said "What are you doing here?" as she ran to them to give them a hug. Fun stuff. My grandparents and my mom at the game.

They were only here from Thursday afternoon to Sunday morning. They don't stay long, but what fun we had. And they made it home safely driving back 1150 miles. Here are my kiddos with their great-grandparents--DeeDee and Grum. Grandparents are just the best. What a blessing!!
