The Grandkids Are Invading

Invasion of the smalls

The grandkids are coming! The grandkids are coming!

A side-by-side composite photo of two young children. On the left, a child outdoors wearing a yellow shark shirt and a black bicycle helmet with a green mohawk spikes and dinosaur graphics leans toward the camera with a fierce, roaring expression. On the right, a toddler indoors stands in a ready stance, holding a small red object in one hand and a pink toy sword in the other while wearing strawberry-patterned pajamas.

It certainly feels like an invasion as we prep the house, prep the fun and games, and prep ourselves for their arrival. They’re spending most of the week. We’re spending a small fortune.

But we wouldn’t have it any other way. Bring ‘em on

Home Again

Grandparent duty

Whew. We’re back home after a week helping out with the grandkids. Good times. Good fun. Crazy exhausted. 

Catching them for extended periods about a month in between each tour of grandparent duty, it’s astounding to see how fast they grow. Most of my grandpa tricks don’t work any more. So, I’ll have to pull out a few new ones for the next visit.

Last Night with the Kiddos

We’re heading back home in the morning after spending a few days helping my daughter out with her kids while our son-in-law is away on work. Damn, they grow up fast and furious. 

Lots of big hugs and kisses after family movie night tonight watching How To Train Your Dragon.

We’ll be back at it again soon, but it never feels like it’s soon enough.

Grand Weekend with the Grandkids

Grand time with the grandkids.

What a grand weekend! My daughter dropped off the grandkids for a sleepover with Grandpa and Grandma on Friday as she came into town to support our son-in-law in his job producing content for the Professional Fighters League. We had a blast keeping up with the kids, discovering the wonders of Grandpa’s house, and hanging out with their Mom and Dad and my wife’s mother. 

 

 Good times watching these two little ones on their journeys into bigger ones.
