Today is a special day...Grandparents Day!
This year is of course even more special because Ryan & I
have made our parents Grandparents for the first time!
My Grandparents have always played such a large role in my life and are so incredibly important to me. I know Ryan's have been the same. Both of us were raised with Grandparents that were very involved in our lives. I can remember them being at every dance recital, softball game and of course pageant...cheering me on! Grandma & Grandpa Nelson have set such a wonderful example of a loving marriage and it still amazes me when I look at our large family that it all started because of their love and commitment to each other. They are now Great Grandparents to 9, Taylor being the most recent!
I have many great memories of playing with Grandad Webb and all of his toys! My favorite of course was the purple rocking horse that I didn't understand until later was actually from a carousel ride...I guess that explains why it was so big! Even to this day he calls me "kid" and I love every chance we get to catch up...he's a talker! Runs in the family I guess you could say! He became a Great Grandparent for the first time when Taylor was born!
This post is mostly to say HAPPY GRANDPARENTS day to both of our parents! Taylor is so blessed to have you four in her life. Ryan and I couldn't ask for more supportive parents or loving Grandparents for Taylor. In the short 5 months of her life she has been showered with your love (and gifts of course) and even though there are miles and miles between us you are a HUGE part of her precious life. We would not be the parents that we are today if it weren't for you. I have written in Taylor's journal more than once that I hope she can one day fully realize how fortunate she is to have such amazing Grandparents. We love you and today especially we celebrate you!
