Did you know that this Sunday is Grandparents’ Day! This special day was created 30 years ago. When the proclamation was signed by then President Jimmy Carter, there were 17 million grandparents in the United States, now there are 70 million!Over 30 years ago, Marian McQuade, a West Virginia housewife, came up with the idea to honor grandparents and to bring awareness to the elderly living in nursing homes. She had 15 children and 43 grandchildren!
At CWDkids, we know how important grandparents can be in a child’s life and salute them for all that they do! Take a look at one of our favorite sites, grandparents.com, to learn more about this holiday and to find activities that your child can share with their grandparents.
P.S. The above photo is of my grandmother, Nathalie, and my son, Bennett!

There is nothing like a grandmother. They are all the fun and none of the stress of life! I love you Mama!
This was truly delightful. Thank you for sharing :-) I would like to share the news about an incredible new service that strengthens the bond between grandparents and grandchildren. Grandchild Connection allows distant grandparents and grandchildren to develop close, meaningful relationships by utilizing today's technology of video conferencing. As part of the "VideoVisit" experience, we coach grandparents in educational and social activities that enhance the bonds they share with their grandchildren, and we provide the tools to achieve that end. We have launched our website today, National Grandparents Day, September 13th, 2009Come visit us @ http://grandchildconnection.com
