My Grandbabies.- 'Aubrey Zachariah Groce'



Well, This is the first time I've added a photo. In the past, you had to use 'Hello' to upload photos, and I just wasn't sure how to do that.
I am going to start talking about my grandchildren for a few episodes. (It's about time!) This photo is my grandson, Aubrey Zachariah. He is the sweet one without the black spots. The other bathtub occupant is Justice, my oldest son's doggie. I think they've lost the soap. Maybe they are just wondering who will pee in the tub first. Anyway, you wont catch me bathing with either one of them! In the other photo, I think he looks just like his mama! Aubrey Zachariah is the youngest of Sarah's children. He's nonstop, exhausting, and well worth the exhaustion. He'll ask the same question over and over again until you finally have to remind him that "this is the 57th time you have ask and I have answered." Is he wanting a different answer, or should I check out some 'Sharpen Your Memory' books for 5 year olds? Doesn't matter. I love him just that way. Aubrey will be starting school this year, and I'm sure he'll be ready to sing for the teacher. Not only does he learn every song from the Disney movies he watches, he also learns the entire movie, word for word! (Including Gestures) I never know whether to watch the movie, or Aubrey. He has the most beautiful blue eyes, and he simply captures the heart of everyone who meets him. Beautiful blue eyes seem to run in his family. His older brother, Tyler,(19) says that he has been thinking about doing eye modeling. Now, is there such a thing? If not, then I guess Tyler will be a first. But I'll get to Tyler at a later point in 'Sun's Up.' I don't have recent photos of all my grandbabies, so I'll take them as I select photos, and wait for recent ones of others. Seems more fair that way. I can hit all the grandchildren randomly, instead of zeroing in on one family. Aubrey spent the week- end with me a couple of weeks ago. We had some great talks out on the deck. We had a lot of fun with the exclamation point. (!) We used it in all kinds of comments. We phrased and rephrased the same sentence in many different ways. He seemed to enjoy it. He was practically rolling off the glider laughing. I think he's going to be a great little actor some day. We also talked about mamas and grandmas a lot. Like any little one, he's fascinated that his mama is my little girl. His favorite comment every time I told him a story about his mama growing up was, "I was there too!" (Well, who knows.) Aubrey also told me that he and mama don't sing their bedtime song any more. It was a song that mama made up just for them. He sang part of it for me, but couldn't remember it all. That made me sad. I love being a grandma,in mediocre doses. There are times though, when it does make me blue. I miss Sarah living around the corner. I miss sitting on the back porch with her, listening to her and Aubrey sing their bedtime song. I believe that day will come again. I have to believe some things to maintain..........
