Last visitor

Grandpa Mike with three of his grandchildren

Our last visitor went home today.  My dad.  Also known as Grandpa Mike.




He was here for Sara's blessing.  And then he stayed on a couple of days to help out.  He drove the kids to and from school.  He played countless games of chess with David and allowed himself to be bossed around by Mary for hours on end.  (Grandpa Mike is a patient and willing playmate.  We miss him already!)  And, of course, he held our little Sara.

I'm deeply grateful he came.  Thank you, Dad.


P.S.  Also, he brought new books for me to read!

P.P.S.  So now we are officially on our own.  Gulp.
