Grandma and Grandpa K. made a huge impact in my life and I wouldn&#8217;t be where I am today if it wasn&#8217;t for their help and influence. I am very grateful. <\/p>\n<p>I speak for my little boys when I say that they are blessed with a very loving and dedicated Gramma as well. She has given so much of herself to all of her children and grandchildren and I hope some day that they realize just what an impact that she is having on them. When the boys were just buns in the oven she said, &#8220;I want to be a part of their life and not just that Grandma in another state&#8221;. I think she got her wish, although I don&#8217;t think anyone could have anticipated this level of involvement! We all appreciate her very much. The boys have a special art project that they are working on for their grandparents for today, but Brendan needs to ask for an extension to finish his part, he had something come up!<\/p>\n<p>The boys are very glad to have had a chance to meet Grandpa Dusty, although his visit was short. Although they haven&#8217;t met their Granddad (trainsdad), we appreciate all of the supportive comments and we are glad he is able to know the boys through their blog. <\/p>\n<p>Trevor had a great day today with Gramma. I hear he behaved himself, he must have known today was special!
