a Tribute to my Grandparents

Hudson with my Grandpa, his namesake.

(When we received Hudson's referral, we found out that his birthmom named him Edwin. I was so excited because that is my Grandpa's name. We kept Edwin as Hudson's middle name both to honor his birthmom and my dear Grandpa!)

Hello friends - my it's been a long time! :)

I am very blessed to have wonderful Grandparents who love the Lord and each other! For several months I've been wanting to "interview" them on camera about their life experiences.

I was inspired to actually get this done by Jen's post the other day of how she did the same thing. Thanks Jen! So yesterday I went over to Grandpa and Grandma R's house and got some footage.

We started with my Grandpa who shared how he became a Christian as well as his army experiences. Then we had to stop because my own "troops" were getting restless. We plan to do more next week hopefully.

I am so excited about this little project. I've heard many of these stories before but I'm learning a lot too. What a blessing to have it captured on video!

I thought I'd leave you with some of my favorite quotes of theirs.

From my Grandpa:

d

"Our attitude determines our altitude."

d

"Assume people like you, until they tell you different."

d

"Things turn out the best for those who make the best of the way things turn out."

d

"Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."

d

From my Grandma:

d

"Keep your words soft and sweet. You never know when you'll have to eat them."

d

"If you're too busy to laugh, you're too busy period."

d

"If you worry, why pray? If you pray, why worry?"

Thank you Grandpa and Grandma for your legacy of love, faith, and laughter!! I am so blessed by your lives!
