Happy Grandparents Day!

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. ~ Alex Haley

There's no vocabulary
For love within a family, love that's lived in
But not looked at, love within the light of which
All else is seen, the love within which
All other love finds speech.
This love is silent.

- T S Eliot

Grandparents, like heroes, are as necessary to a child's growth as vitamins. ~Joyce Allston

Grandmas hold our tiny hands for just a little while... but our hearts forever.

Grandparents are there to help the child get into mischief they haven't thought of yet. - Gene Perret

A grandmother is a little bit parent, a little bit teacher, and a little bit best friend. - Author Unknown

Oh! How we miss our grandparents! We took for granted how often we got to see them when we lived in Arizona. We love you today and always!

How sweet. We miss our grandparents too. But I'm not on the ball enough to have realized (before now) that it was Grandparent's day.

How I miss these sweet kids and their wonderful parents who are raising them so well. It was a great surprise to get Jake and Emma's card and the wonderful photos. So many memories...too many to count. We love you so much, and miss you. Can't wait to see you in November.
