In thinking about my girls getting so big I must give credit where credit is due. My Grandma Hazel had a lot of influence on my children. She is such an amazing women that I am very grateful helped me with child care when my girls were younger. The girls were around 4 or 5 when she first started watching them for me , oh the things they did together! She would take them to the beauty shop with her and the manicurist would paint their tiny little nails.......when I would come home they would say "Look mommy we had manicutest day!" She taught them how to crack an egg, how to play hide the thimble and to count money. We moved to Arkansas when the girls finished kindergarten and I know how hard that was for her. As much as I needed Grandma Hazel to care for my kids, she enjoyed it and loved them with everything she had. Sixteen months later we moved back and she once again got to keep my girls a few hours a week, and once again they learned so much from her. When I think back of them growing up it is never without seeing Grandma Hazel there teaching,loving and caring for them. Grandma Hazel was very supportive when we moved to North Carolina a few years ago and still is, even though I know deep down it broke her heart to see Lyndsay and Lauryn move that far from her. I owe so much to her and will always know that my girls are who they are because of her. Thanks Grandma Hazel ! We all love you!
