Grandsons

Today is our grandson, Joshua's, 18th birthday.  It hardly seems possible that he has grown up so fast.  I remember the first time we saw him. 

He was born in Hawaii (both parents are Air Force) and we didn't see him until 2 months later when Kevin came home for his sister's wedding.  He had so much hair!  We all thought Kevin (who is known for playing tricks/pranks) had put a wig on him.  After a flight(s) from Honalulu to Harrisburg, you would have thought all he would do is cry.  Not Josh, he just smiled and burped!  Loud burps.  I remember his Nana, Keni, laughing in surprise.  Of course, he was checked out to make sure all the fingers and toes were there - you know the drill! 

And so he grew up - literally and annually.  He plays guitar and is a fine student.  He's been accepted to the U of Oklahoma - his first choice.  He is a polite young man, thoughtful and ready to laugh too.  Not to mention he's a cutie too - and that's not just a proud grandma talkin'. 

So here's to you, Josh, go forth and make yourself proud of what you do and how you do it.  We love you always - even if you are taller than me.  Yeah I know, who isn't?
