Great Granpa's Visit

My Grandpa came to visit us last weekend with Meg and Deb! I love that my kids know him so well and get to see him at least a few times per year! When we first saw him, Kenzie ran up and gave him a huge hug, and Maddie cuddled in his lap for about 5 minutes (this never happens, we thought she was sick!) We spent the weekend swimming in the pool, eating, shopping, and golfing ( I think Melissa still owes Grandpa money for that one...you know he threw the game at the end, right?)


Deb, Meg, Kenz, and I in the "hot one"


Why I love my Grandpa:

1. He is hilarious! I am always laughing when he's around, and he always has some witty comment to make! He makes the everyday mundane things in life funny and entertaining!

2. He is so easy to talk to and treats everyone with respect. When he owned his business he made it a point to get to know even his sales people. Everyone in his company thought of him as a good friend, and many of them still keep in contact with him today!

3. He is never thinking of himself. Last month I was visiting him, and had to take Maddie to the E.R. at 4 in the morning. Guess who was right there with me?

4. He has lead the most interesting life! Jen swears he has made up half of it! But who else has had dinner with the Mafia and has a picture to prove it?

5. He is completely dedicated to his family. He is always there when his family needs them. No matter what!

Love you Grandpa!!!!

What a character. I wish I knew him. Why did Maddie go to the ER? I'm out of the loop, how sad.
