We went and visited Grandma Layton and she is doing so well! I am amazed at how fast she is healing and how sharp her mind is at 91 years old. I'm so grateful that my kids will have memories of their "Greats". I am so grateful for my Grandparents and all that they've done for me and taught me. I think about how much change they have seen, and how they are the generation of adaptation. (is that a word?) My grandparents have gone from buggies to corvettes, radios to HDTV, no phones to cell phones, stationary to email. There is so much that we can learn from our elders! I love the stories of "the way things used to be". I love the look in their eyes when they're taking themselves back 50 years, pondering, remembering. "Tell me the stories that I love to hear!" I hope and pray that my grandparents have a little more time on this earth so that I can learn and grow from their amazing stories and experiences!
I think we give Grandma a good workout when we come! It gets tricky trying to refrain the kids from jumping on her and wheeling her around.
Addison and Grandma-great!
Cooper and Grandma played a game of checkers and I think Cooper thought Grandma would let him win...think again! Grandma is a fierce competitor!
I don't know if Grandma's smiling or trying not to die! Ella likes to take her to get a cookie and see the fish.

You're so lucky to be able to spend this time with her and so good to visit her in rehab. I'm sure it makes all the difference for her.
Can't wait until she recovers and we get our turn up here!
I'm wiping away a tear. Thanks for sharing.
