So long, farewell, until next time...

Grandpa Ray left early this morning before the sun rose and when Ivan rose there were tears streaming down his face. "I didn't want him to leave!" Apparently 3 weeks is not long enough in the eyes of a grandson.



I told Grandpa he shouldn't leave without sending his replacement. Not sure who that is, but it was sure nice having another adult to help and who was a kid magnet. They were always in his lap, in his arms or being pulled, swung or otherwise entertained in some fashion.

Our calendars seem to be filling up pretty fast now and we'll have to fit packing in there somewhere, but we'd rather fill our days with more memories and friends than boxes, so we are still not focusing on that so much yet.
