The old homestead

late night talks we had when I came to visit you.  Those precious memories put a smile on my face.  Remember how we would talk until 2:00 in the morning and dad would get out of bed and come into the living room, look at us and say, “Are the two of you ever going to go to bed?”

Choose to be happy with children. There great for immortality!

I have been giving this a lot of thought and it is just too good not to pass it along.  Hope you enjoy it.  Please let me know.

Reports are always talking about the expense of having children, but they never mention the benefits.  I think it is time we take a look at the benefits of children.

Here is what the government calculates the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 for a middle income family $160,140.00.  I know that is a price shock and it doesn’t even take in the cost of college.

This weekend is Grandparent day and I have a lot to celebrate.  We did have that new little one arrive August 31.  It was another precious little girl.  We now have 5 little girls and that 1 cool little boy.  I can’t complain after all one little guy is better than none.

This grand parenting is really wonderful.  Guess I feel this way, because I never had any grandparents.  I can remember during holidays all the kids I went to school with would say, “I’m going to my grandparent’s house for Christmas.”  Always wished that I had a place like that to go on holidays!
