Saturday, my husband and I went over to my oldest son's house to celebrate our granddaughter's first birthday. What a special event. We have two grandsons, so having a granddaughter is really exciting to us. Little boys are definitely different from girls. One of the nicest things at the party was there were five great grandparents there. My husband's parents who are 97 and 95 years old. My parents were there who are 80 and 79 years. old. My daughter-in-law's grandfather who age I did not ask, but assume in his 80's. Five great grandparents, wow, that doesn't happen very often. There is something to be said about aging and the wisdom that comes with it. Just think about it, almost a 100 years different between Grandpa Riggs and Avery. What Grandpa has seen in his lifetime and just imagine what little Avery will see in her's. Amazing.

The party was fun, good food, lots of laughs and loud noise. It seems as I age, noise seems to bother me more. Ever notice when you are out shopping, all the noise going on around you. Crying babies, screaming kids, music playing, cell phones going off and worse, people talking loudly on the cell phones. Sometimes I just get rattled by all the noise.
