This is grandson Dylan Michael at 5
Friday May 28th is his 12th Birthday.
Dylan is my youngest grandson.
He and older brother Andrew
spent every weekday
at Gramma's...
during the summer...
while their parents worked.
~
Dylan & AndrewThey took many walks in the woods...
together with me!
~
Wherever you found one...
you usually found the other.
~
Dylan is friendly and easy to love!
He's a
very good student...
and a
logical
trustworthy
fun loving kid.
~
Dylan was often in the lead
on his walks in the woods
with Alivia and me...
~
His
awareness and observance...
are easy to see!
~
runs to jump logs
with his athletic ability!
for Alivia.....or me!
a creek blocking tree!
like he jumps over trees
with a smile on his face
and a great deal of ease!
and a great deal of ease!

May all your dreams come true.

Cute kid. Must have been a handful to have the two of them but I know you loved every minute as did they.
You are a wonderful grandmother and a great photographer! Your woods are a never-ending source of discovery and pleasure. I love to walk with you.
Hello Wanda,
What a lovely present for Dylan your birthday post is! He has grown from a cute child into a handsome guy! I love the photo of him far away down the path, returning home. Happy Birthday Dylan!
PS I thought of you tonight. We are in Sedona, and I have a Keurig in the room! (No whipped cream, though...)
What a lovely birthday post!
What a handsome lad he is! Happy Birthday Dylan!
What great kids! Happy Birthday, Dylan! :)))
Best,
Lois
Fun times! I enjoyed the photos, as always.
Happy Birthday Dylan...what a handsome young man!
Wanda! Your grandson is handsome and looks charming and he's got a wonderful grandmother.
Have a good birthday Dylan!
Hi Wanda
what a handsome young man Dylan is and he sounds a great kid to match...How many grand children do you have in total Wanda...Coming over to visit you must be something that they look forward to.
have a happy Dylan day
Oh Wanda this brought back so many memories of when my Frank was young. He was a really good boy. And I think that boys are forced to grow up to fast today. I can see that Dylan is enjoying his youth and is so fortunate to be able to hang out with his grand parents so often! Happy Birthday to Dylan, he is almost a teen! Love Di ♥
What a beautiful boy - excuse me - young man! Happy Birthday Dylan. He seems like a very happy person Wanda - no doubt in large measure due to your loving influence.
Such a handsome and fearless boy. It always amazes me how boys can walk across a log with ease while we girls crawl. Gotta be in the genes.
So wonderful that he is aware and observant, surely a trait he learned from you.
Happy Birthday Dylan.
He's grown up so fast! And standing on the threshold of puberty... next thing you know he'll be needing to shave! Great pictures and lovely story.
Tell your birthday boy that because of you, gorgeous grannie, that from around the world, in this case UK, joy and blessings are wished for him!
What a beautiful slice of the world you provided for your grandchildren to explore. Happy Birthday to Dylan - he's just beautiful!
Happy birthday Dylan..!
Our oldest grandson is soon to be 15, the years have sped by. It's
lovely to watch them grow into handsome responsible young men isn't it.
I love being a Nanna..!
Birthday wishes for Dylan from Prague!! What a lucky guy he is to have a wonderful and loving grandmother like you!! He will always cherish the times he has had with you just as you also cherish those times. What a wonderful tribute to your grandson to post all those pictures and even write a poem about them. Love goes a long way and because Dylan has had a lot of love, he, too will go far and you will always be with him, in his heart.
The very best times of your life. Wouldn't it be wonderful if every child could be loved so much. A very happy birthday to Dylan from Michigan.
Your life is full of birthdays! I really like the bouquet Dylan is holding! He sounds like a very lively, curious, enterprising young man. Enjoy your weekend, Wanda.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DYLAN!
Beautiful post, Wanda!
I loved trailing behind Dylan and Alivia walking through the woods.
It must have been wonderful to have all the grandkids for the summer. And it must seem quiet now, but at least you still get to enjoy a few of them here and there every once in awhile. A full house does feel wonderful doesn't it?
It takes me awhile to get used to quiet when the gang is not around!
And I have to apologize, I didn't even comment on your beautiful post to Bernie, I was so quick to hurry off and work on my own post for her that I didn't leave a comment, I'm so sorry!
And I'm so grateful that you posted a day early for her. And I'm so glad that I made a visit, otherwise I would have missed wishing her happiness for the day!
I've been a very negligent blogger friend lately!
'Hoping to do a catch-up post sometime this weekend (between barbecues and parades!).
I hope Dylan enjoys his special day!
Love you!, Eileen
Wanda, he is a handsome young man and you have such a lovely family!
Dylan, Lá Breithe Sona Duit as Oileán lathghlas na hÉireannach. It means, Happy Birthday to you from the Emerald Isle. Hope you had a wonderful day. Your Granny can now have fun practicing those Irish words while walking in the woods.
What precious post, Wanda. Your first image is sweet, my children bring these lovely little bouquets almost every day, our table is filled with the sweetest little vases in all kind of colors. Your post made me smile and I still do...
Happy Thoughts for a lovely weekend, Wanda. xx
Happy Birthday Dylan, and of course you are easy to love just like your family. I hope you have a wonderful day full of fun, family and lots of cake and ice cream.
Great post my dear friend, Dylan is such a cutie, big hugs to Alivia
...........:-) Hugs

Wanda~
Happy Birthday to Dylan... he's adorable! I cracked up at Alivia climbing over that log! :) Reminds me of how much I loved to explore at that age.. and still do! How wonderful that they live so close & you get to spend so much time with them... something they will remember fondly all of their lives.
:) have a great weekend!
Once again, what a blessing to have your kids/grandkids so close by...you have two very beautiful grandsons!
What a beautiful boy. How lucky to have his Grandmother so close. How lucky for you.
Great photos, once again. Enjoyed it.
I hope Dylan had a lovely birthday, he looks like a great teenager. Lucky for you that he lives so close.
A very Happy belated Birthday to Dylan :-) He looks so cute in all these pictures :) Very agile and sharp. God bless him and give him strength to take on every challenge this life gives him :)

Hi Wanda! and a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DYLAN!
What a handsome young man he is!
and so agile too!
How fortunate he is to have a sweet and loving Gramma!
{Google spell checker should know who Gramma is!}
I'm enjoying your sidebar too... I'm glad we've worked our way out of winter... but your creatures big and small in the snow are soooo sweet looking!
Enjoy this wonderful weekend, Wanda!
Many joys to you ~ Maria
Dylan looks like he really enjoys life. It is so wonderful to watch your grandchildren grow up, but there is always a touch of sadness in that too, especially when it is the youngest. You are fortunate to have all of your grandchildren living so close.
Belated birthday wishes to Dylan Michael! I think it's great that your family is so close by; most people don't have that anymore and I think it's a great benefit for all the generations.
The picture of the log jumping made me stop and look long. How do kids do that? ...without fear of breaking an ankle? I guess they're made of hard rubber and elastic...
Happy Birthday to Dylan! Hi Wanda, your grandson is so handsome, and it is so nice he comes to visit.
((((HUGS TO ALL YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY)))) T
Happy birthday to Dylan! he is a very handsome fella...I can only imagine how handsome of a man he will become. I agree with the other comments that you are a good grandma and your grands have a lovely place to visit and explore in your blessed woods.
Sweet pictures - sweet boy.
I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I have yours. Great Pictures! I am now a follower.
God Bless, Bob

'Just wanted to let you know that I'll be using one of your pictures as my blog background for the month of June.
Thank you so much, Wanda, for dressing my blog so beautifully!
Love to you,
Eileen
Happy birthday to Dylan. They grow so fast that it's almost painful. It seems like just a few days ago that my 4 year old was a teeny baby. Now he's already a little boy and growing fast.
Just wanted to come and give you a hug!!! Hope you are having a beautiful week, dear Wanda! Much love, Janine XOXO
Happy belated Birthday Dylan. You will grow up to an intelligent, beautiful young man ;)
Belated Happy Birthday Dylan. Wishing you the best!
He is so cute Wanda.
Oh, what a wonderful Grandson! Happy Birthday to Dylan! And a hug to Grandma! Time goes so quickly.
