    Glad you have some special time with them before they move.  I know that my mother was devastated when we moved to Oregon when my son was 2 (I'm originally from S. Calif. too).  That was 22 years ago now.  How time flies!

    My husband and I watched the oldest boy for the first three years of his life - so we are especially close to him. Guess I better learn how to Skype!!

    Slow, your grandsons probably already know how to Skype!  I swear, children nowadays are born with computer knowledge.  They can probably show you how to do it.

    monis, funny that you say that....the older boy showed me how to do something called "hangout" on my phone. He's only 6! It amazes me how tech savy kids are today.

    GMA & Alyson, your grandchildren are beautiful!! They really do make life worth living, don't they??!!

    I don't have any grandkids yet, and at the rate my son is going I won't be getting any anytime soon!  He's 24 and hasn't even had a girlfriend yet.  Hey, any of you ladies have a daughter or granddaughter that likes the quiet engineering type?

    Monis, those aren't my real grandchildren. They are my sister's - but, we share everything!! Her daughter is like one of my own, and I love them like they are my grand babies. My daughter is 26 and my son is 24. I don't see them having children anytime in the near future. But, I'm always hopeful!!

    Speaking of tatoos - did you see this yet?  http://ibnlive.in.com/news/photos-women-fight-can...  I thought it was an interesting idea.

    From what my daughter says the henna lasts about 6 months.

    Someone on another thread used her henna design head for her avatar for a while. She said her friend did it. Very unusual and cool.

    I think it looks really cool - it reminds me of some of the hats that were worn in the 20's - very tight around the head. I'd never have the guts to do it though.

    Grandma Day with youngest GS

    image

    The newest pic of my oldest grandson - He has Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome - Every 7-10 days some times sooner, between 11am and 2pm, he gets sick and vomits. He now has started to get the migraines related to the syndrome.  He needs your prayer, there is no cure, they don't know how to combat it, but the school has given him his own private area to go rest and go through his episode.  Then in an hour or 2 he goes back to class.  All the docs want to do is sedate him until the symptoms pass.

    Gma - love to see the pictures.  You look great, and so does your grandson.  I'm glad the school is understanding for your GS.  What a miserable thing for him to go through.

    GMA, such a great picture of the two of you!! It breaks my heart that he has to deal with that at such a young age. I'll be praying for that precious boy.

    He is now 7 years and even little brother (4yrs - the one in the top pic) helps him when he is sick.. He has been fighting this for 4 years now.  Took 2 years to figure out what it was - with horrible testing.  He is a trooper, that's for sure.

    The vomiting is inconvenient, but migraines are truly awful. Poor kid. Do they ever grow out of it?

    I was going to ask the same thing Wren. Is it something he will always have to live with or do they even know?

    They have no cure and no they end up with a life of migraine from what I hear.  He has a few triggers that bring it on but it doesn't alway work - being too hot, excited, tired, or dehydrated.  The other day he says to mommy, "Mommy, I took off my jacket when I got hot, I drank my gatorade and everything else.. I'm sorry mommy."  It brings tears to my eyes just hearing that.  He knows his triggers, he is very aware - but sometimes they come anyway.

    Oh GMA, I'm so sorry. It just doesn't seem right when children have to suffer. {{{{gentle hugs}}}}.
