Popi Pandemonium

Well, our visit and fun time with Popi is over for this year...so sad...we love our time with him and cherish it, so when he flies home, we are heartbroken for a long time. The kids thoroughly enjoyed every minute with him, hardly giving him breathing space at times. They loved bringing him things, showing him their stuff, helping him eat peeps, and watching movies with him. Celeste got the most time with him, since Alex and Leah were in school, so she relished the opportunity to sing to him, dance around, and bring him yogurt for breakfast everyday. She could not get enough of him. They cried when they woke up and he had left- even though they said goodbye the night before...a Popi's love is like no other.
It was cold and rainy for the first few days this week. Then, I came down with a horrible flu, so he took care of me and Celeste- such a blessing. Then it got nice, and we went to one of Dana's games and then on Friday, when it was really nice, we went to Campus, like we always do and spent time there- we even took the kids out early for that and they loved it. If only we could've had more days like these...

Personal space?!

He actually bought that hat!

Alex told me today that he wishes Popi could stay 2 weeks with us- I said maybe next year! We will see, but the best part is that they will hopefully be moving back in 2 years, possibly 3- that's not that far- they have been gone 9 already! We hate it! We hope Popi knows how loved he is and how we are already counting down the days till he comes next spring!
