Grandmama & Turner

"Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
Proverbs 31:29
"God couldn't be everywhere and so he made Grandparents."

"If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren, I'd have had them first." 
"A grandparents house is where cousins become best friends."
"The only thing better than having you for a mom is my children having you for a Grandma"
--On a side note....metallic and preggo belly REALLY do not go together. Will have to remember that.--
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return"
"There's no place like home...(except Grandmas)"
"Children are often spoiled because no one will spank Grandma"
"Grandmother--A wonderful mother with lots of practice"

"A grandmother is a little bit parent, a little bit teacher, and a little bit best friend."
"Grandmas hold our tiny hands for just a little while, but our hearts forever."
"Just when I thought I was too old to fall in love again, I became a grandparent."
"Grandmother-a wonderful mother with lots of practice"
To show our appreciation.
Their favorite spots:
Home
Grandmama always came to our house. This was such a blessing with having to be at work so early and Turner loved being able to share his world!
Fayetteville Duck Pond
Bread and ducks was all they needed for fun! They went here lots to watch the ducks
Fayetteville Public Library
Bookworm was always fun for them. Turner always loved the bubble part.
Roni's House
Roni would give them a call and invite them over after his nap to play with kitty and Porky. He usually asked for a 'snack' as well.
Springdale Library
He would greet these little children each time! He always learned a fun song during their library time.
Springdale Duck Pond
These had such fun geese and ducks! It was  beautiful scenery!
Botanical Gardens
Little Sprouts on Wednesdays! Turner LOVED this. They always created such fun activities and he loved the animals, of course!
Church
I am known as 'Turner's mom' here.
Mom helped with the nursery during the MOPS program. Turner loved playing with all the kids during this time!

Her gift from us.
Nothing close to the gift she gave us by watching Turner for two years.
I also made her a video of their two years filled with pictures and memories!

Each day during her last week I had a little treat that connected to memories for her to take home for when Turner visits (He was there a day later:) I only took a picture of this day.

My mom handled each one very well.  

Loved walking in to this on their last day! I have referred to it for Grandpa T  likes things a 'certain way' LOVE IT!

Turner cherished everything he did with Grandmama. There's nothing I can say that shows how much it meant to me. This is a perfect place to print his book for year two! A wonderful ending and beginning to many more cherishing memories!

Thank you to Grandmama for spending time with Turner during his first two years and teaching him SO much and giving him unconditional love. Thank you to Grandpapa for supporting her and being there for our family!

Love,
Addison, Katy & Turner
