I Stole This Picture
October 10, 2012 | My Jottings
As you can see by the logo, my daughter Sharon took this sweet picture of her four children, four-eighths of my grandchild treasure chest.
I loved the picture so much I stole it from her. I didn’t even ask permission…payback for all the times she didn’t ask for my permission when she was growing up! 🙂
Mr. McBoy is 10 1/2, Mrs. Nisky is 8, Li’l Gleegirl is 5 1/2, and Louisa (yes, her real name) is 10 weeks.
Intentionally giving thanks, and taking pictures — these two things seem to slow down the passage of time for me.
Recently I told Mr. McBoy that in just a few blinks of an eye he would be 6′ 8″ tall, but that I would still want him to sit on my lap when he’s all grown. He looked at me funny and said, “But Grandma, I might crush you.” I assured him I could withstand it and he seemed to believe me.
Little does he know I’m already being crushed, in a sense, just to know the love of these grandbabies.
Those eyes! Those smiles!
Your “theft” from Sharon has brightened my day!
You have reminded me of what I have to be grateful for in my life. I am shamed to admit that I need reminding at times (sigh).
Blessings to all of you!
Thank you for your kind comments Roberta. I certainly understand needing reminders to be thankful…it’s why I said “intentional”…. Because on my own I can be quite the complaining, glass-half-empty sort of person. God bless you today my NY friend…. Xxoo
Lovely, lovely photo.

Thank you Kay. You are on my mind and in my prayers…. xxxoo
Stealer! Thief! I shall never forgive you for taking this picture! ;p
Yesterday I asked McBoy how he was going to feel when he was 6’9″, and he said, “I’m probably going to feel really happy about that.”
🙂
I hope the Minnesota Timberwolves will feel really happy about that too. xxoo
The picture you shared was so beautiful. Happier children I have
never seen. Please tell Sharon and Chris I admire their wonderful
family and you know how your mom and dad would treasure them.
Oh thank you Dorothy! We talk about that often as a matter of fact…I know my parents would be so “over the moon” about my grand babies… You have some marvelous blessings with all of yours too… Love you..xxoo
