Life Lessons

This picture truly takes my breath away. Baby Jack is really looking at Granny, listening to what she has to say.

This is probably Life Lesson #1 of many. If Baby Jack is smart he'll listen. Granny has years of life lessons under her belt and honestly they are each as fabulous as she is.

Baby Jack, you don't know Granny (GG) very well yet, but let me fill you in. She is incredibly inspiring. 55 years ago she married Grandpa Doc, the love of her life, and they started a family. While he was working she raised 3 kids, each 18 months apart. Never once did they reuse a bath towel or sleep on unpressed sheets. She managed to have dinner on the table and a martini in Grandpa Doc's hand every single night. She cleaned house, hauled horses, arranged scavenger hunts, and tucked each child in every single night. But despite all of her super human feats she is most inspiring because she instilled generosity, love, kindness, and humility in each of her 3 kids (your Nana included).

Listen closely to what she says. She has countless stories and adventures to share. If Granny invites you over for lunch, dinner, or even a snack NEVER turn it down. I promise it will taste better than anything I will ever cook.

She likes to have fun, play games, and be around family. It's perfect because you are one of the bunch! In fact, you make her sparkle. You light up her eyes! Your stories rival hers and she is more than happy to listen.

Life lesson from mom, try to remember every life lesson from Granny. If you only remember 1/2 of them you will have learned a lot.
