Come Back Soon, Grandpa!

We have been lucky this year with how often we have gotten to see Grandpa. He has done well with his consulting contracts which is good news for us since much of the work takes place in Ottawa! We are always happy to host him in his mini-apartment in the basement and Isabelle and Oliver are so excited to have him around in the evenings. We have finally convinced Isabelle not to run down and see him in the middle of the night like she does when Gran visits! Last week's visit was a godsend as he extended his time long enough to accompany Mommy and the kids to the christening weekend in Toronto. He was able to visit his siblings as part of the trip, plus he learned how to operate a Sienna's DVD player! We look forward to his next visit and if it comes before Xmas, he will surely need to bring suitcases full of goodies in both directions!
