We all slept in really nicely this morning. When Brady and I went down to retrieve the kids, Rowan was still asleep. He stayed asleep for a good long while still. In the meantime, Elvira arrived, we made waffles, and ate breakfast together. Rowan woke up towards the end of the meal and got in on the goodness. It wasn’t long after we were done eating that we got our notice that Brady’s grandpa was on his way over! We knew we’d see him sometime today, since he’s been out visiting for this weekend, but we weren’t sure when. The timing was great, since everyone was actually going to be awake during his visit, which doesn’t happen too terribly often.
We spent a nice hour or so visiting with the kids’ great grandpa. The kids were pretty shy, specifically Dekker and Laela, but by the end, Dekker was sitting on my lap, listening to his stories. And grandpa was very understanding of the kids being so shy, reassuring us all the way “I’m a complete stranger to them, its just fine.” He blessed us before he left, and told us he prays for our entire family by name, along with the rest of his family, every day. In case you didn’t know, that is a solid hundred people to remember!
Grandpa headed back to the family he was staying with, and Elvira took him, so we’re on our own for the rest of the day. Ro and Solly are down for rests, and the big kids are playing Lego and watching a bit of tv. Should be a pretty relaxed rest of the day. I have a few things I’ll try to complete, but standards are low, haha! I hope you’re all having a “Saturday” like mine!
