Today Jaden reminded me, in his lovely four year old way, of 2 things. One, that he is always watching and he is more aware then we might give him credit for. And two, we are so very blessed to have the family that we have! As soon as the big kids and daddy were out the door, the little guys and I headed up to Chesterfield to take Kaylee's euphonium to be looked at... again. A story for another time. When we reached the corner by our house Jaden says, "Look mom! That's the church Grandma goes too!" Sure enough, he was pointing at the Baptist church on the corner that my mother-in-law attends when she is visiting us. It has been a long time since her last visit and I didn't even realize that he knew that Grandma choose that church to attend. Our kids are very observant and that means that I need to be setting the example I want them to follow at ALL times! How daunting! The conversation went on. "Does Grandpa go there too?" Jaden asked hesitantly. "No, Jaden. Grandma Talley goes there and Grandma and Grandpa Goettl go to our church."
"oh, that's right, I forgot for a minute. You know mom, Grandpa is my very best buddy and I know he loves me lots and lots!"
Yes, yes, sweet Jaden, he most certainly does.

Awesome! Maybe I'll get that opportunity to be a "be a very best buddy" to a grandchild some day. Keep on writing I like to hear about you guys.
Jaden, you are just a great kid! I love it that you remember my church. And I know how special Grampa Goetl is to you as he was like your Dad for almost a year. I love all of my grandkids! They are so very smart! HUGS!
