But I get to talk about the special times that grandparents have with the kids. Those moments when the parents are in the shower. Or talking to each other about something other than the baby. These are the snippets of time that help us create the shining memories of our grandchildren's lives intertwining with ours.
It's usually something simple, such as sitting by the fire, holding the baby while she watches the flames leap and glow. Or holding her while she's still in a 'milk coma,' both of us slowly waking up to the day.
Later on it'll be walking down to the farm, tossing rocks in to the creek, petting the soft noses of the horses and laughing at the antics of the goats. All small moments that add up to something pretty grand.
Piper is just beginning to discover her world. She is very content to let it swirl around her at this stage. Soon she'll join in wholeheartedly. But for now she watches, smiles, gurgles and sleeps.Oh, and lest you think she's too perfect, she does cry occasionally. Sometimes very loudly.

We had a most fantastic time with you both on the ranch. I am already counting down the days until summer when we can come visit again. I must say... you got some pretty great pictures of Piper. We all love you guys.

You and Goddy look so wonderful with Piper and your pets. Must admit to popping in on Crystal and Evan's blog from time to time. Piper blossoms by the week. Looking forward to seeing her in person one of these days.
Also looking forward to meeting Ben. He looks like an amazing dog.
