babysitting

I know I've been out of touch for awhile...it happens every year for about 6 months or more as we do first football and then basketball. The school year always keeps me hopping regardless, and this year I taught a special summer camp throughout the month of June (and got married on the 7th, praise God!) so this summer has been even shorter than usual!

This past September, I became a grandfather for the first time. My youngest daughter had a daughter herself, so I'm becoming aclimated to the wonderful world of babysitting again! Guess what? Dirty diapers STILL stink, bottles are still a pain (why can't they keep them IN the crib?), and everything in the world that crawls, creeps, or has nasty disease will STILL wind up in her mouth! The good part - my granddaughter is absolutely the BEST child I've ever seen, and that's not just grandpa talking! She NEVER cries, always giggles and laughs, and just has the best nature of any baby I've ever seen, my own included! In short, she's a real joy! What makes it even better is that my new wife just adores my grandaughter and is SO good with her! You'd swear that the child was her own! What a blessing she is to me!

Well, if you're reading this, I know you don't believe a word of it because grandpas are ALWAYS proud of their progeny and always telling tall tales, but I don't really care! My grandaughter is the best baby EVER and my new bride is the most wonderful woman on the planet! God has really blessed me recently, so I offer my praise to Him and I give Him all the glory!
