One morning I heard squealing coming from the hallway
I stopped what I was doing, which was probably cooking,
and went to find out what was so exciting.
As I turned the corner I stopped
there was my husband...Mr. left brain business man...
showing the grandkids how he had caught a rainbow
no way
I hung back and just observed this miracle
one by one they both reached into the light bouncing off of a leaded glass door..revealing prisms of rainbow light.. and held rainbows in their hands
and then they stuck their feet into the light and laughed some more
Almost as fun as the lightening bugs he helped them capture the night before
wow....the miracle of grandchildren
Now if only they could get him to watch foreign films with me

Ha! There is a magic in nieces and nephews too, which I think J's family could attest to after watching me put my fingers in my mouth and make terribly unflattering faces and sounds with my 3 year old niece this past weekend. All the while sitting in the muddy sand at the edge of a lake while the sun burned my shoulders and little fish nibbled on my toes.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really sweet post : )
M.heart...it's wonderful, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteoh little fish nibbling at your feet...my Reagan would have loved that
Aw that's sweet. But Suz you should know that a rainbow isn't the same thing at ALL as a foreign film :)
ReplyDeleteokay I guess you have a point there...but come on...not one?

smiles. those are the things gandpas should be teaching...so cute...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post. Kids love those rainbows. Me too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story that Grandad still has that wonderful inner child which likes to come out and play. There is magic which surrounds us constantly, it is just remembering to look, and of course childrens laughter reminds us of this. Good luck with the foreign films (must be a man thing!).
ReplyDeleteIt's these little things that the grandloves will remember each time they see a rainbow, and that Grandpa taught them how to catch them.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable entry.
