Today is National Grandparents Day! As a Grandparent and a granddaughter, I know the power of this relationship. Grandparents are life lines in many families. Grandparents are safe arms in a hostile world. Grandparents are living history. Grandparents are love.  Grandparents live forever in YOU.

Here are the three wonderful boys in my life who make me a very GRAND – parent! Hunter is 13 now and the twins, Kael and Orion are 4-1/2. SWAK

You knew it was coming – pictures of my wonderful Grandsons. These are pics from their recent trip to the San Jose Children’s museum. Please feel free to go aaah!

Hunter (12) thinks about a career as a fireman. He is at the I’m cool stage so this picture by Dawn may prove to be embarrassing.

Looks like water is going to be involved which would make Kael (left) and Orion (right) very happy!

Twins (4)

It sure is wonderful to be a place where Mama doesn’t have to keep telling me to keep my hands off!

Twins

Sometimes the most fan can be in the hotel pool!

Kael

Yep! I’m cute and I know it.

Orion

Thanks Dawn for some great iPhone pictures.

Bit under the weather today so I thought I'd share some pictures with you on the blog of Sandra Lee’s newest jewelry designs and some family pictures, too. Enjoy!

Orion is going to be another Richard Avedon. Who knew a 3-year-old could even take photos? Let alone ones you’d keep.

Here’s a few pictures he took this week. My daughter-in-law Dawn was posing with some vintage scarves for an upcoming blog feature when Orion raised his chubby hand, shouting “Me, Me, Me.” I thought he wanted his picture taken but that didn’t make him happy. He wanted my camera.

So I kept the camera strap around my neck and let him shoot away with the Canon Rebel and a pretty heavy lens. Every time the lens clicked, he giggled.

Here are some of his best pictures (with just a bit of cropping by Grandma). Enjoy!
