Last week our son-in-law, Andrew, had surgery, so Bob and I were on grandparent duty.
Heather and Andrew were heading to the hospital around 8:30 so we got there in time to bring Cassie to school.
We spent a little time on the playground while waiting for the school to be opened. Then we sent Cassie off for a day of school and left to take Connor home.
We stopped at a donut shop on the way home and all enjoyed that treat!
When we went to pick up Cassie from school, he was asleep in no time.
In the meantime, Andrew's surgery went well and he was back in his room. He was doing ok, a little painful and very sleepy. At that point, Heather came back home.
We went for supper which was enjoyed by all. Heather and the kids headed home, hoping to have an early night and a good night of sleep before heading back to the hospital the next day. Andrew is expected to be in the hospital for a few more days, possibly coming home on Monday. Prayers for healing are appreciated!

Dear Mari, I am glad Andrew's surgery went well. Beautiful photos of your time on grandparent's duty.
Grandma and Grandpa time is so special and they grow up so fast. I'm glad to hear that Andrew is doing well and I'm praying that he will heal quickly and completely. God bless you Mari and your family. 🥰
Prayers for fast healing for Andrew. Your grandchildren are so adorable!
Yes, I will pray for Andrew and get his name on the prayer roll at church. It's great that you were able to show Cassie and Connor a good time and hold down the fort so Heather could be with Andrew. I cannot believe how big Connor is now! I well remember when you announced that Heather was pregnant with him. I hope you have a good week and that all goes well with Andrew. Keep us posted!
I'm so glad it all went well! I remember when Cassie didn't want to spend a night with you, and even for a long visit, wanted her Mom. But that didn't last for long. You know how to work your magic with them.
Those paper bag snowflakes are beautiful and I love the three-dimension of them. Looking forward to making some.
I can't believe how much the girls have grown up in 4 years. Time flies when you're having fun.
Hoping Andrew's surgery was a success and will pray for a speedy recovery. Conner is so precious and I know you were happy to have grandparent duty. Gosh how they grow up so fast. Janice
Praying for Andrew and a speedy recovery, Mari. Oh, that Connor is a cutie! I'm so glad he could spend time with you both. I don't think there is a better title in life than grandparent. Blessings!
Praying my friend
I will be praying for Andrew's healing! Connor did great with you and Bob!! Do please keep us posted about Andrew. xo

Aww! What a lovely day with Connor! It sounds like he had the best time. I am glad Andrews surgery went well and I hope he makes a speedy recovery.
I thought of you on Friday and all weekend, and prayed that all would go well. What a darling boy Connor is. It makes me sad that at these ages, they will not remember the sweet times they spent with Grandma and Grandpa as toddlers! So that's where the wonderful pictures come in. Speaking of which, the shot of you with Connor on your lap is such a beautiful picture of you. We'll keep praying that all continues to go well this week! xoxo 🏴☠️
Praying for a full recovery for Andrew and prayers for the rest of the family while he's in the hospital.
Oh my, that photo of Bob and Connor giggling together is a prize winner. I'm so glad he is happy to be with you.
Love all the pictures.

I'm so glad Connor did so well with you folks. Your grandkids are such adorable Pumpkins. I remember when Aaron was little and in a phase of talking about everything being from "chicken town" Lol Kids keep it interesting. Prayers for Andrews continued healing and that he get home soon. 🙏🏻
Hi Mari, I am so glad to hear that your SIL surgery went well. Hi Mari, what a sweet little family. The grand kids are adorable, that little Connor and his zoom zoom must have been so cute! I don't have any children of my own but am very close with my niece who I helped raise. She and her daughter live nearby and I get to see them often which has been so nice. My grand-niece is like a grand daughter to me and I really enjoy her. When she was that age she was so much fun. I was showing her how to ride a stick horse. We each had one and were galloping all over the house. Although my horse was not as speedy as hers. :) Whenever I played cowboys as a kid I always sang out theme from the Bonanza television program. So I started singing it by force of habit and then Molly heard she squealed so hard with laughter it was like a puppy hearing its first bark.: ). So now every time she played with the stick horse she would hum the song and shout Bonanza! at the end. My millennial age niece had never watched the show and when I brought her home and the baby started doing that she could not figure out where it came from. Finally about a week later I get this call "Hmm? Aunt Delisa what is a Bonanza and did you teach it to Molly? What a hoot some had to teach her how to be a real cowboy like Little Jo and Hoss. :) She is 8 year old now and I just made her a crocheted doll and tea set. I am trying to really savor this age because she will be a teenager before I blink. Have a nice afternoon ahead!
I'm glad his surgery went well and will pray for fast healing. Toddlers are so fun with their imaginations!
Sounds like a busy and fun day. Glad to hear the surgery went well.
So pleased Andrews surgery went well, prayers for his recovery.
You did well on Grandparent duty.
Lovely pictures from your day with Connor and Cassie.
All the best Jan
Glad to see that Connor did well! Also glad to read that Andrew's surgery went well.
What a fun day for everyone involved! Playground time, donuts, and pretending to be a superhero sounds like a perfect day through a toddler's eyes. I'm glad Connor was so comfortable with you both. The best news, of course, is that Andrew's surgery went well. Wishing him a quick recovery and hoping he'll be home before long.
What a cute sweet little boy Conner is. You two are such good grandparents. Glad Andrew's surgery went well. Hope he will be fine and home soon.
Praying for Andrew and a speedy recovery. Connor is a cutie and has the prettiest eyes. He did so well with you too - Blessings!
Hi Mari, I am sure you enjoyed your time with your grands. I miss the times when are grands were little like that. Our oldest is turning 19 on Tuesday. Enjoy them when they are little.
That is so nice that Connor was fine without his mom and spending the day with you. I think it means he feels very safe with you.
That Connor is as sweet and adorable as his sister. So glad all went well that day for you and Bob and that Andrew has his surgery behind him.
Pure joy, Mari to able to be a part of your grandchildren's lives. Its always so good to see these two, and watching them grow. You are blessed.
Keeping Andrew and everyone in prayer, Mari...and thank you for sharing photos of the grandkids. ☺
How wonderful for them to have you nearby and available! What a fun day with Connor! And he didn't cry for Mama!! That's a big deal!!
Adorable! Glad to hear it all went well and of course, I'm sending prayers for a super quick healing!
Connor is doing very well now! They are both so cute. I love the picture of Connor with grandpa! I am glad all went well will be praying for for him.
I am way behind in my blog visits and seem to have missed this post. Glad to hear Andrew's surgery went well, and that he is now home from the hospital.
Connor and Cassie are growing so fast. Beautiful kids, and you got some really precious photos of them. My favorite is Connor and grandpa.
