We live not too far from my own Grandparents, and my girls just love them so much. As an Army family they have not had the opportunity to live near any grandparents or aunts and uncles until this past year. They love both Grandma and Grandpa Greg very much but they know that they have Grandpa Greg wrapped around their little fingers. They will ask to call them, so I dial and as soon as Grandma answers they ask for Grandpa Greg. When he gets on the phone they will use their sweet innocent voices and say, "Gwampa Greg? you come ober to my house?" And he will clear his schedule! On days he has to work, Bethany has told him to call her, so he does on his dinner break! They have him trained!

One thing about my grandparents is that they are coffee addicts! In the morning, after meals, in the evening, afternoon, just about anytime. It is not uncommon to hear my Grandma with her New York accent yelling, "Greg! You want your coffee now?" Maybe that is why Shea has begun greeting me in the morning with, "Mommy! I need my coffee!" Also she pretends to give her babies bottles of coffee. "Ok baby! Time to drink you coffee now!" When I give her a cup of juice she will also tell everyone that she is drinking her coffee.

On another note, I get endless material from my kids when they are in the bathtub. Oh the things you should not have to tell another person not to do! I can't just make a list because I have the memory of a goldfish, and there will likely be more material in the future, so for now I will just throw them in whenever and try to number them. Today's is #1, and I have sadly had to say this one more than a few times to my kids.
#1 "Do not lick your sisters butt!"
