There's Something About That First Grandchild

I think every grandparent will admit there's something special about their first grandchild. Just when you're feeling sad that your kids are leaving home, the void is filled in with that first little one that reminds you so much of when your own kids were little.

So the other day, I ran across these pictures, and it reminded me that Chandler not only looked darling, but had the most charming personality a 3 year old could ever have. That smile could melt everyone's heart that came into contact with him.

He loved boating & jetskiing.

Our handsome little man!

When he was 3, he would ride his bike (yes, he rode a two-wheeler then) to Gene Harvey's who lived next door, and would talk to him while he worked in his yard, and charm the heck out of him. Gene told us he's never seen a more delightful little boy and said he hoped he was around to watch him grow up.
Chandler isn't so little now (he's taller than me), but he still has that infectious, win-over personality he had back then. We hope as he faces decisions in his life that every teenager does, he'll remember how loved and cared about he's been and will always make wise choices, so we'll always be proud of him!
