Goofing Around with Grandpa


We've been really lucky over the past few weeks. If you remember, Grandpa had to leave Florida unexpectedly to head back to Toronto and help attend to an ailing Great-Grandma, so the bags were packed quickly, the goodbyes hastily said and he was on his way. Needless to say, Isabelle was visibly distraught to see him leave so fast. The good news is that once all of our feet were back on Canadian soil, Grandpa had a couple of contracts that required him to be in Ottawa in May on more than one occasion. The kids, and us of course, adore having him come to town. Isabelle loves to go meet him at the airport and especially loves a morning partner for breakfast, as usually her parents are running around getting ready for work. They also are very proud of our neighbourhood and are happy to show Grandpa the tulips in Commissioner's Park, something about the wide open spaces just makes it a fun place to good around, and Grandpa is only too pleased to oblige. We can't wait to see him come to town again soon, in fact every time Oliver sees a computer bag, he thinks Grandpa is back in town!

It says photo op, now go ahead and take one!


Never far from his big sister


Hey Grandpa, have you seen these ones yet?


Thanks for coming Grandpa, we can't wait to see you again!
