Only in my wildest dreams could I have imagined being this blessed! After 11 years of living 100 miles away from my son & daughter-in-law, they are now a mere 10 miles away. And, best of all, my adorable little granddaughter, Charley Ellen, is in my life on a weekly basis.

My passion in life was being a full time, stay-at-home-mom. Allison has made the decision to be a SAHM (just learned this acronym!) with Darrin’s full support. There is now a name for much of what I muddled through on my own – attachment parenting. Allison has taken raising Charley to a whole new art form compared to my efforts 36 years ago & I couldn’t be happier for all of us! They are fantastic parents!
Nothing in my life has come close to equaling my love for being a mom until I was honored with being “Oma”. I cannot tell you the joy that I feel to sit on the floor & play with Charley. Or the way my heart melts when that little girl smiles at me. Or the pure love that envelops me when she reaches out her arms to come to me.
Of course, I offer to watch Charley as often as I can to let Allison do some things without a baby strapped to her. We have settled into a sort of routine of me heading to their house when Charley wakes from her morning nap (I wait for my “she’s awake!” text) then arrive to feed her lunch followed by our play time.
On one such occasion last week, I brought along my camera.
