Good morning, everyone!!!

I love waking up on a Saturday or Sunday to the sounds of hubby and grandson sitting in the living room, watching tv, playing angry birds, and conversing as if they have nothing more in this world to do than their casual conversations.

I just lay there in my big comfy bed, in our bedroom just off the living room, listening to the laughter and some mornings, more serious talk.  Have you ever heard a serious conversation a five year old can come up with?  Hubby is fantastic about it all, always treating each conversation with whatever tone the grandson pops off with, :) 

This is their special time of the day when hubby is home.  Kinda like during the week and it is just Bug and I for a few hours each morning.  Something I would never try to butt in on, because frankly Bug and hubby enjoy their mornings together.  This is their bonding time, their relationship building time.

You have to understand about Bug a bit.  He doesn't really warm up to people much.  Both of our granddaughters have outgoing personalities.  They love people and interaction with people.  Bug is a bit different.  He can be wild and wooly, 100% boy, but when it comes to interaction with people, he's very choosy.  Especially with his conversations.  So it is really wonderful when you are presented with these moments first thing in the morning, before the world starts getting a big more chaotic and he's all relaxed and shares a little of what is going on inside that head of his, :)

Hubby and I enjoy the relationships we are building with the grandchildren.  It's nice to just relax with the little ones and enjoy their personalities and yes, the insanity some days, :)  We adore each of them in all their glory.  Weekends are those times when we really get to put aside the hustle and bustle of the week and just relax with them and enjoy the time. 

Sundays around here are family days.  Where all the grandchildren are under one roof.  All the children are under one roof.  Once in awhile even the adopted children and their children are here.  Our big house seems so small filled with people, but it also has that quaint family feel to it.  Warmer weather we spend this family time outdoors enjoying the weather, cookouts, bonfires (on occassion), with more room to spread out, but still the family time feel swarms over. 

Three generations of our little family growing, living, and just enjoying the company. 

So see, when I say I'm blessed, it has nothing to do with monetary means, it has to do with the love and wonder that surrounds me in this thing we call family.  Those treasured moments that come with true unconditional love.  Relationships built on nothing more than just being who we are, accepting one another for just that, and enjoying the differences that make us individuals.

Everyone have a lovely day!!!

Blessings to all!!!
