Grandpa Atchley's In Town

Ron has been visiting for a couple of days (do you say visiting when you live in his home?!) and it’s been nice having him here. I’m not sure why, but for some reason it seems like whenever he comes to visit we end up sitting on the floor in the hallway chatting. It’s not comfortable, but it’s where we seem to have our best conversations and so for the hallway, today I am grateful!

I have a picture of Ron and Adele in the front room and the other night we were sitting in there talking. Sarah walked up to the picture and started pointing to Ron. When I asked if he looked familiar and if she could find him anywhere else she turned around and smiled at him.

Yesterday morning she and I were playing in the family room. I thought we were having a good time, but before I knew it she was crawling off into the kitchen. (She never just crawls away from me (unless daddy’s come home)—usually it’s towards me) You guessed it, Grandpa was in there and I was left to play by myself.

She really loves her Grandpa. They’ve had some good times this trip---thanks Grandpa for coming home!

That is so nice for Sarah to get to know her Grandpa, and she will remember him because she can relate to the picture now and know who he is! I kind of think she likes the men! She likes Papa so much too! Just wish we were closer so she could see us more often! Guess we should be glad you are as close as you are and not in timbucktu!!!! See you soon!
We love you!

I can't believe she is 1 already. It is depressing isn't it? Time flies. Emery will be 9 months on Sunday and I can't believe it. Sarah is beautiful. When we took the boys in for checkups, Cole's head was bigger than Noah's and Noah was really upset about it. Ryan has a huge head and I have a tiny one. I think it's all the useless knowledge you guys have up there. Ü Let's get together over Christmas.
