guess who came to town?

I have not cleaned my bathroom.  I have not done any dishes.  I have not cooked meals.  I have not had a nap.  I have not read to my children.

I have eaten out like I was on vacation.  I have been shoe shopping with my best personal shopper.  I have listened to my kids laugh so hard they couldn’t breathe.  I have had my kitchen cleaned for me multiple times.  I have lost Beckham only to find him wandering the neighborhood with a pretty qualified adult.  I have allowed Grandpa to take over story time.  I had the pleasure of witnessing my dad’s first stroll through Trader Joe’s.  I also witnessed his first time stepping foot in a Walmart.  It was momentous.  I slugged through the corn maze so my kids could take Grandpa to the pumpkin patch.  I can cross “get Sunday shoes for the kids” off of my list.  I heard about Cooper beating Grandpa in chess, twice. 

Grandpa, we miss you already.  Take some time to recover, and then come again!
