Glasses, Grandaughters, and Good Times......

My girls got new eye glasses. Soccer Girl usually wears contacts so you don't see her in glasses much. Miss Priss only has slightly impaired vision so she doesn't wear hers much. However, it was time to buy them new ones. (Soccer girls were very old and the nose piece kept breaking and Miss Priss lost hers.) So as with anything new they are wearing them constantly right now. I just love them, I think they look so cute. I think it is adorable (as only a Mother would) that they wanted frames so very similar. I think they make both of the girls look older. Sometimes I get kind of sad that they are growing so fast. I love each new phase of raising them but wish everything would slow down just a little. I think of my Mom, her daughters are grown women with children of their own. Does she miss us not being in her home anymore. Now granted she has had a lot of years to get use to it.... but at first (because my sister and I moved out at almost the same time) did her house seem empty? Don't worry I am not going to go down that road when luckily I still have quite a few years until I get to the empty house stage but it makes you think. I also think about how awesome grand children are going to be. I laugh and think that because I had daughters I will probably end up with grandsons (not that I will care I will be thrilled with either). Although, my Mom didn't she got four beautiful grand daughters. (sorry you can't see the 4Th but my sister is concerned about Internet safety and is not ready for her daughter to make her Internet debut) I love this picture of the girls and my Mom taken at her 60Th. That brings me to the end of the post where I want to mention how blessed I am to have family, and lots of it. My family is very close and so is the Englishman's. And even though we may live faraway for much of the time when we all get together it is such a good time. I can't wait until the end of the month when the Englishman's family visits I know we will have many more good times and lots of pictures to share.
