Grandchildren are Such Fun!

I know its been awhile since I blogged but I'm sure you have figured out life is quite different around here now. But its a great kind of different! Guka and MeMe love having Min, Luke and Will living here with us. We love every minute we are with these precious grandchildren and look forward to coming home every day to see them! Life is good and God is great!

You also probably know that we are going to be grandparents again. Randy and Jamie announced last week to the world that they are expecting a baby in March of 2009. We are very excited and looking forward to welcoming another Scott into the world. We are praising the Lord for His faithfulness and goodness.

A year ago today, Steve's dad went to be with the Lord and 15 years ago yesterday, my Dad went to Heaven. All four of our parents are with the Lord and we miss them terribly but we are trusting God that someday we will be reunited. Losing precious loved ones is the most difficult challenge in our lives but because we have stored our treasures in Heaven, we have the hope of seeing each other and spending eternity together.


Ain't he precious!

Welcome to the Scott Activity Center!

Well, the long awaited day has come and last Tuesday night, Steve, Jamie and I picked up Min, Luke and Will at the BWI airport. We had a quiet 2 hour drive home while the Min and the boys slept. When we pulled in the driveway, there was a welcoming banner on the window that said- Welcome Mindy, Luke and Will! Uncle Joe had surprised us with a special welcome! Then Min came through the door to see her beloved dog, Riley, who gave her kisses all over her face! It's been a year since Riley was that excited to see anyone- she recognized her Mama Mindy!

We showed Luke his new room and he was wide awake and excited. He loved his "Cars" bed, toy box and table and chairs. Guka had also left a few new toys in the toybox.
Since that time we have been enjoying spoiling our grandchildren. Luke is crazy about his Guka and doesn't like to see him leave for work each day!

Luke has been enjoying having access to the back yard. Guka set up a sandbox and he's been helping Guka rake and clean up. He thinks it is pretty cool to be able to open the back door and immediately be outside!

We've had almost a week of non stop motion! I'm sure our schedule will slow down and we have to convince Mindy she doesn't have to accomplish all her "10 things to do in the USA" all in a week! We have plenty of time!

Uncle Randy and Aunt Jamie are having a good time too. It's been a busy week for Randy but after today, the Shorebirds season is over and he'll be around more!

Here's a few pictures of the last week!
