Just finished visiting with my new granddaughter, Ellinor Olive, on the computer. Well, and we visited with her mom and dad too. Since they live so far away, I am very thankful for the technology that allows us to see and hear them. It is not as good as getting to hold Elli in my arms, but at least I get to see her and hear the sounds she makes. I love getting to see Scott and Elizabeth learning how to take care of their daughter. It gives me a warm feeling inside.
And this is not all that makes life good. Of course, Isaac and Caroline help make life good. Any day when I have the privilege of seeing them is a good day. And seeing their parents too. Isaac is growing up so fast. Being in fourth grade means that he has a different teacher for each subject. It seems like only yesterday when he and I made cookies together for the first time. He was only 2 years old at the time. And darling Caroline. In a little over 4 months she has changed each time we see her. She is about to get the sitting up thing managed.
It is not only family that makes life good. I have a job that is challenging , but very rewarding. I truly love interacting with teenagers and having an impact (I hope) on their lives. When I watch the news and see people who have lost their jobs and aren't sure how they are going to pay bills, it makes me very thankful for the job I have. And most days I love it.
I still enjoy spending time with my husband and having evenings together. We will get to go meet Elli in person in a couple of weeks and our entire family will be together for a few days.
So life is good.
