Big smile, outstretched arms
Running feet jump and hold on
I love you gramma!

Peek a boo, Sweetie
Gramma Kitty loves you too
Butterfly kisses

Here comes Little Guy
Reaches up, I pull him in
Head on my shoulder

Two precious treasures
Gathered up into my arms
No heavy burden

Here's my little doll
Wide open smile and giggles
Love for her gramma

Soon we'll have one more
He's due in only two weeks
I have found heaven

Cat, how wonderful! Congratulations on the ones oyu have and the newest on the way. Buns in the oven!

OH, you all, there is NOTHING like basking in the love of my grandchildren! Lexi is four and jumps in my arms, and Ashton will be 2 in January so he reaches up for me and cuddles like there's no tomorrow. Kelsi is six months old and gives me that big open mouthed smile and coos...... sigh. Then Trenton will join our family sometime this month. Life is good.

Aw how sweet, Cat! I am in no rush for grandkids but I know it will be grand.

You even coo in this poem. You sound so proud and rightfully so! Congratulations on the new arrival. My mom ( a grandmother ) certainly couldn't have said it better. Wonderful job and sentiment!
