Attention, Grandma! A Great Father’s Day Gift For Grandpa!

May 30, 2009

Attention, Grandmas!!!

Consider getting Grandpa Do It! I Do It, Too! for Grandpa for father’s Day!

Every day experiences turn into special moments for Grandpa Ron and Grandson Austin. The book captures some of those moments. It is a picture book with Austin-like sentences to describe the pictures. Most of the pictures are from photographs when 2 and a half year old Austi spent a week with us in Reno. Others are from Seal Beach and Long Beach, CA and the Portland, OR area. I turned the photos into drawings using photo applications.

It hits on the message that we may seldom be given the opportunity to know the impact we make on another, even very young, individual. Live as though it will happen always and then cherish the memories. It demonstrates “family relationship togetherness” and little ones watching and learning from grown-ups – namely grandpa! It helps foster self-esteem and demonstrate how every day activities can be special. Just taking the time to go places, explaining things to kids and playing with the kids can be something they remember for the rest of their lives.

There are some blank pages at the end of the book for you to put your favorite family photos or memories or the kids could draw themselves with their family. When they are all grown up 20 years later it will be fun to rediscover those special pages at the end!

The story has a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level of 1.8.
The book is printed in the USA.

I call it a children’s book. Grandpa Ron calls it a grandparent’s book. Read it and decide for yourself! The kids enjoy talking about the activities and details in the pictures. The adults remember their own special moments – either as kids with their grandparents or as grandparents with their grandkids. Oh, and moms and dads get their own flashbacks, too!

I do it, too!!

Working Out with FitnessWorkx

April 8, 2009

Grandpa Ron and Grandma Sue try to work out twice a week with Nick Rians at FitnessWorkx in Huntington Beach, CA so we can be fit to keep up with Grandson Austin when we are with him. FitnessWorkx has a neat exercise program on-line you can check out since most of you are probably not easily able to physically visit Huntington Beach!! They also have a blog site with healthy tidbits of information. Ok, so now you find out I’m somewhat of a health nut!
