First I was the daughter. Older of two girls when I became a sister. Shy, curious, then studious and annoying as a teen, trusting & hardworking as an adult, and yet full of doubt.
Next I was the mother. Three young energetic, loving boys. Grateful, awestruck, then on-the-go and tired as they grew, parenting along with being a classroom teacher. Still full of doubt. (So. Much. Doubt.)
Now I am the grandmother. Gigi to three – girl, boy, girl. Excited, grateful (and exhausted). Looking forward to many calls, face times and especially visits. I guess doubt will accompany me all along my way.
Except…. there is no doubt of my love for my family!
P.S. Weathered a snow storm and tight connections to be at our youngest grand’s first Birthday. What a lovely long weekend!!

Absolutely love the pics! They are filled with joy and glee which we need more of these days. Glad you made it for the birthday party.

I absolutely love the pictures and the glimpse into your life at this stage with grands. Your focus on the word “doubt” that was an underlaying theme in your life is a really clever way to tie this post together. I have to agree with you about loving those grands (3g,3b for me) and would, like you, travel far and wide through storms and obstacles for every precious moment with them!

It’s funny that when I started writing, that part wasn’t in there. By the time I was done with the third section, I had realized that’s what was missing, and added it to each part.
Being a grandparent is different than being a parent in ways it is hard to describe!

I had such a good time – and I’m exhausted. Just got home from the airport about an hour ago. I already want to go back!

Love the pictures. Each stage of our lives offers new opportunities and challenges. We face them, rise above them, and move on.
