Grandma's Hope Chest: November 2010
http://grandmavalerie.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 21, 2010. It's Comin' Around Again. One of my grandma duties is to pick up grandkids from school. When I’m quiet and just let the kids talk on the way home in the car, I can learn a lot about the day—like last Tuesday. Rylan, our kindergartner, mentions to her sister Kinley, our pre-schooler, that she had fun playing chase with Ethan on the playground. Rylan is in a class with 18 boys and 8 girls—odds are good that girls will be chased! 8220;Why is he annoying, Ry? 8220;He tries to get k...

Grandma's Hope Chest: October 2010
http://grandmavalerie.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 29, 2010. Let Them Eat . . . Cupcakes! Yesterday, my granddaughters Rylan (5) and Kinley (4) helped me make cupcakes for grandson Christian's 5th birthday. Cooking is a big event when it's real and not in the let's-pretend, kid-sized kitchen. Aprons on, chairs to the counter, measuring cups out, all supplies ready, electric mixer plugged in, oven preheating. I can crack eggs . . I have the best life! How do we get back there? The Bible tells us that a little child shall lead them. Grandch...

Grandma's Hope Chest: Everyone Knows It's Windy
http://grandmavalerie.blogspot.com/2010/11/everyone-knows-its-windy.html
Sunday, November 7, 2010. Everyone Knows It's Windy. Last Tuesday my daughter Carrie read my blog with granddaughter stories and then asked why hadn't I written down the funny things she and sis Jennifer said while growing up. I wish I would have. I can jump back a generation and see what my fuzzy brain can remember of my first go round at parenting. Oh Mom, there can't be any wind because there aren't any trees.". So I challenge you today to read two chapters from the Bible, book of John, chapter 3 and ...

Grandma's Hope Chest: That's What Love Is All About
http://grandmavalerie.blogspot.com/2011/02/thats-what-love-is-all-about.html
Saturday, February 26, 2011. That's What Love Is All About. Buy valentines for Rylan's class party, help her address and sign 29 valentines- 26 students, 2 teachers, one teacher's aide. Pick out valentines at CVS Pharmacy. Rylan decides we should purchase one kind for boys and one kind for girls, because "boys don't like Princesses and stuff like that." Boys get cool jungle animals in 3-D alternating poses and punny captions like "I'm not lion, I want to be your Valentine," and "I'm ape over you! Chris i...

Grandma's Hope Chest: New Beginnings and Double Blessings
http://grandmavalerie.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-beginnings-and-double-blessings.html
Saturday, October 16, 2010. New Beginnings and Double Blessings. Grandchildren are a double blessing because God once again entrusts us with open minds, open hearts, and the budding spirits of His next generation of explorers. We get to explore creation again with new eyes and new insights. We teach and we are taught in the classroom of life. We discover that we have five senses that need a workout and we have trainers sure to give us a good one! October 16, 2010 at 6:05 PM. October 17, 2010 at 8:04 AM.
