Y'all know that I adore my precious Grandpa with all my heart! I really believe his love and godly influence on my life shaped and molded me into who I am today. Watching his health decline over the past few months has not been easy, but I am so grateful to the Lord for allowing us more precious time with him.
Time to make more sweet memories for all of us!

Yesterday afternoon, the kids and I made some chocolate-chip cookies--just for Grandpa.
After baking our little treats, we headed over to his nursing home to enjoy them with him!
Forgive me, but I just have to brag on Corban for a moment. We have been instructing the boys at home about the importance of good conversations skills. We've talked about eye contact, hand shakes, and the how-to's of carrying on a good conversation.

I sat back, and watched as my seven year old sweetly carried on a wonderful conversation with my Grandpa. Corban seamlessly chatted with him about everything from the Carolina Panthers to the weather and he did a great job! I was really proud of him!
Sophie enjoyin' her treat!

During our visit, one of these sweet, innocent, little onespushed Grandpa's EMERGENCY alarm button on the wall TWICE!!!
Each time all the nurses came running in!
We definitely know how to leave a lasting impression with the nursing home staff, now don't we;)
After our--uh--memorable visit, it was time to say goodbye.
Sophie insisted that Grandpa kiss her baby doll goodbye too!Sweet Times--
and YES-- Special Memories Were Made!

How sweet!! It's been so long since I've seen your grandfather, but I remember him as such a sweet, sweet man!
I'm sure that emergency button was the color red and just TOO tempting for little eyes...and fingers :)
