appreciation:)

there are times when you'd like to slow down your days to the point where you could actually view them instead of watching them WHIZZZZ by... we've been with the girls and jeff for the past several days in virginia and even though i am experiencing those days? i'm looking back on them already and wondering "where did they go?"... all too soon we will be back in california and i will be saying over and over again "thank GOD for technology"... i think i will remember this time most fondly because it was just plain fun... what a joy for timmy and i to get a sneak peek at our daughters daily lives and to know that they actually kind of like having us around:)... life is good... i like the fact that we can all hang out, tease, joke, talk, sleep, eat, play with buster the cutest rug puppy i've EVER seen (yes this is grandma speaking) and also know that all of them are overall content with their lives...they may not be ecstatic over some circumstances? but they are content with what God has given them and i don't think a parent could ask for more than that... so coming from me the lover of all things time travel? i think i would just slow down the time we are here in order to actually SEE it... see the beautiful women that our daughters have become, see how unique and individual they are, see how jeff is making a life for himself and emily and working very hard to carve out a home for the two of them... and knowing that this entire experience is being viewed with my other half, probably the most patient, kind and amazing man on the planet... if i ever have doubts of things to be grateful for? i need to just look around, because i am one blessed woman:)
