Grandbabies
People have always told me how great it is to be a grandparent and I'm here to tell you that it's the truth. Marv and I have just gotten back from spending 5 days with our grandson and it was a real kick! Now, I was a bit concerned about spending that much time anywhere ( we actually got there late Wednesday and left early Tuesday) but it went really well. He has changed so much since we saw him last. Wasn't too sure about the new people in the house when he woke up Thursday morning (not at all), but by Monday, when Kim asked him to take something to Gramma and to take something to Grampa, he went right to the right person. We got to watch him dance, we got to listen to him sing, he took our picture, he tried out Gramma's disc golf spin drive. He was a joy. So quick to learn. I was playing a weird noise game with him while I was changing his diaper once and the next couple times I changed him he was doing his part of the game, expecting me to join in again, but I had forgotten how it went. We seem to be on opposite ends of the learning spectrum. :-)
Just a few days before going to visit Matt and Kim and Benji we spent a couple days with Josh and Beth and Ava. Ava is changing even quicker that Benji. We got smiles and giggles and toe sucking and lots and lots of snuggles. What a sweetie! If they could only get to to go to sleep at a reasonable time she would be darn near perfect. ;-)
I have so many great pics but I have to figure out how to post them. Hope this is a steep learning curve.

You hope it *is* a steep learning curve? Sorry to disappoint you, then -- posting pictures is quite easy.

Oh, I'm looking forward to this. Anything to give me more pictures of your adorable grandkids is a plus in my book. :-D

I'm sure it's easier to post photos on Blogger than it is for me (you know, manually with html). Does Blogger automatically size pics for you, or do you still have to do that part yourself?
And Matthew: what's up with all the blogs under your profile? Former work stuff or do you just have some strange hobbies? :-P

Blogger resizes the pictures, thank goodness, or otherwise you'd see many fewer pictures from us.
And to answer your question: As a "hobby," I guess, I make about $50-$75/week by blogging about financial topics and putting Google ads on the pages. Only about two or three of those blogs are ever updated; the others I tried out, then decided not to pursue, but I decided to keep the blogs up since they bring in a few cents every once in a while.
(And warning to any kind-hearted souls who are considering clicking on ads to try to send me money: Don't. Google's algorithms are pretty smart about such things.)

Why is this saying it has three comments when it clearly has four? Let's post no. five and see what happens...
