The Grandkids and Noah

One nice part of growing old is the entry into the "grand" stage of life. It's a time when the title "papa, daddy, father" gets an added prefix - "grand." Another good aspect of aging is when you enjoy the company of the kids without the responsibility of bringing them up as parents... a role that is the cream of grandparenthood.

Noah's recent travels brought him to the hills of Santa Clarita north of Los Angeles where he had the blessed chance of staying for a few nights with a niece and her husband and kids. It was a rare opportunity after not seeing Daphne for decades and to bond with her adorable and well-mannered kids was an added feature that Noah felt right at the core of his heart.


Nathan, Camille, Kimmie and Jordan...that's
the order from youngest to the eldest (Noah not
included of course).

mommy Daphne and granny Jo ann
at the kitchen.

with the kids in school and the parents off
from work, breakfast is slow and relaxed. Dad
Frank had the breakfast served just as we came
out of the bedroom.

the eldest daughter - Kim, and she plays her
role really well by looking after the welfare
of her younger siblings.

These two urchins are all over the house just like
normal active kids. What grandpa Noah liked best was
Camille's activity on the piano. She's a budding
musician and Noah would love to see her play the
piano and clarinet a few more years from now.

This is Sunday evening activity. The kids prepare
their lunch boxes for the following day.

monday - the first day of school for the 
year 2017. It is 6:55 and they're already 
dressed up for school and having breakfast 
they prepared themselves. Nathan is waiting 
for mom coz he wants fried eggs.

That's inside the van for the short ride to school 
on a winter morning. Jordan left earlier.

Dad Frank at the wheel. the roads were
slippery and we passed by two car accidents.

we get to their school and there is a steady
drizzle, but they obliged to one more pose
for grandpa Noah.

Noah doesn't hold favorites among his grandchildren, but
Camille just has a special tug at his heart.

the kids disappeared into this entrance,
but not from Noah's heart. Thank you Jesus
for such adorable grandkids and thanks too,
dad Frank and mom Daphne for bringing up such
respectful, happy and well-mannered kids.
