When Ellen and I agreed to ‘watch’ the three grandchildren (6, 4, & 2) for a weekend while their parents attended a wedding out of town, I thought, “Well, at least I’ll get a good MillersTime post out of it.”
You know, one where I ‘gently’ chide the parents, ‘herald’ the wonderful grandparents, and feature the antics of the three young ones. As the weekend started, I jotted down some events that I knew would bring smiles (to readers, if not to the parents).
But then a ‘funny’ thing happened. All three kids somehow ‘performed’ well and were a joy. Plus, we didn’t even lose the youngest, as we have in the past. So rather than my expected post, I thought simply featuring Ellen’s photos would be the best way to ‘memorialize’ the weekend and entertain those of you who enjoy such things.

They are adorable but it is stunning to see how they have grown. Their grandmother looks as young as ever.

How utterly adorable! (…again but you knew that…..) The little cook on the counter, the sweet brotherly kiss, the bath, etc — how cute can they be?! And where is that train — Wheaten?
It looks like you two are having a blast with the grands!

What enthusiasm for life and all its adventures…and so adroitly captured on film by a grandmother who has the same enthusiasm. The giggle does not fall far from the tree.
