I just wanted to start off with how wonderful I think my grandparents are. I’ve always looked up to them. And though I know they have made mistakes in their lives. I still idolize them. My maternal grandparents are 75 and my paternal grandparents are 72 and 75. Both grandfathers have served in the navy. One for a short period of time and the other retired from the navy. Both have worked very hard to achieve the things in life they have. Both have raised wonderful families, and are willing to assist those around them in need. They have been great examples for me in my life. I enjoy their stories and hope to have them around for several more years to hear more stories. They are also great examples for my children too. Who love to go and see them!
Julia and Haley also have wonderful grandparents for examples in their lives, and I know they idolize them too. Grandparents are wonderful! We all feel their love when we are around them wither it is grandparents or great grandparents, we know we have them to love us and we love them very much. I’ve also got to meet most of Paul’s grandparents and think they are just as wonderful as mine, and can’t wait to meet the ones that passed away before I met Paul. Here are some pictures of them.
Don’t they all look so happy.

I also have a great grandmother Crone still alive but can not find any pictures of her right now. I defiantly need to get updated pictures of everyone together! These took hours to find and most were taken 2005! I can’t believe I’ve slacked so much in picture taking!

Thanks for such a wonderful post on such wonderful grandparents! I did not realize it was Grandparents Day, although I should have. Our kids are celebrating grandparents this week at school. Usually they do it in the spring.
You were not late for Savannah's birthday. It was yesterday, on the 14th. I started the post last week and did not realize it would post with the date I started it on! It took me forever to get the pictures downloaded and in the right places! So frustrating. I changed the date on the post though, so now it is correct!
