A, at my parents' house: Mama, can you please go home now? I want to talk to Grandpa about the Cold War, the Korean War and the 6 Days War.

Grandpa came over and played with the girls last night. A said in wonder this morning, "Grandpa played dolls with us...and he was actually pretty good!"

A was playing dominoes with my parents. After helping her along for a while, she then decided she could do it on her own. She reached a point where she was struggling with what to do, and Mom asked her if she was having trouble. In consternation she said, "Nana, I'm just having a hell of a time with this."

Even Dad had to admit that we can probably blame him for that one...

Such a sweet pic of A and her grandpa. That's his hook that she's holding on to.

A said, "I want to be a Nana when I grow up."

W replied "Actually, I want to be a Grandpa when I grow up!"

The things grandpas and granddaughters share...

We have a pack of flash cards, and whenever W gets to this shirt card, she says emphatically "Grandpa!". Nice to know your style is recognizable anywhere, Dad.
