Children are a gift from God......

When my husband and I were married he decided to become Lutheran.  He was raised Catholic, but there were some things he just didn't agree with, and since I was Lutheran, it was an obvious change.  Now 37 years later and 4 grown children, the three that are married, married into the Catholic faith because their partners were Catholic.   It is not a problem in any way for us, as long as they are Christians, go to church and raise their children with a belief in the grace of God.  I love my son in law and daughters in laws to death.  I couldn't have picked better mates for our children, actually they are young adults.

We celebrated our youngest grand child's Baptism a few weeks ago, (Christening).  It was a wonderful celebration.  I just wish one thing, that they would teach pasters, any religion mind you, how to speak in public.  How to make a sermon interesting, hold your attention, and motivate you to be a better person.  When someone speaks in a low quiet monotone, it isn't good.  And now I am going to be a better person and talk about it again!  And now some pictures....

Daughter, son in law and our three grand kids.  Megan was a little disappointed that Ryan was a boy.  She said to me one time, "Nonna, I don't know how I am going to handle it with 2 brothers."  Pretty funny, now she just loves him to death!  Connor of course loves having a little brother.

Little People!

If you don't see them for a while you start to miss those little people running around your house! We did get to see them today while their parents went shopping. We live next to a farm, and they always want to visit the cows, so of course that is what we did. Then Megan wanted to play babies and Connor wanted to play baseball. Grandpop and Connor played a serious game of baseball and Megan and I watched from the deck, as most ladies do. We drag the baby toys down from the loft to the deck so that Ashley (her baby) has some toys to play with while Megan and I watch the game. Needless to say, it was the most enjoyable visit ever, as they always are!
