Afternoon in the Fort

I arrived in Virginia being picked up on time to enjoy lunch alone with my wife at Wegmans. If you every get to the East coast Wegman's is the place, but that was not the end, after getting to my daughters house and after the arrival of Isabelle, She and I spent the afternoon in her cardboard fort. What a joy to crawl in and lay upon blankets and pillows( I was tired) and talk and talk with my Granddaughter, a very advanced 6 and 10/12th year old. Caption Jack was at the controls of the ship and our periscopes were up. Even Elliot the long slipped in to curl up and join the fun. I also was able to hold my newest and 4th granddaughter Sophia, small and so delightful to know another little girl for Papa to spoil.

Dad, We loved having you here and Isabelle was in 7th heaven having you in her fort. Glad you were able to make the trip out even though it was short. Soon we will have LOTS of time together. :) Get your exacto knife ready!

I think I finally have everything working in blog land (Carl was here);
your afternoon in the fort was priceless, I can tell.

I can't hardly contemplate having children, but having grandchildren, now that's gotta be quite amazing indeed.

If I really think about it, I can be completely awed at the fact that there even is such a thing as grandchildren, and even more so that God graciously gives us the opportunity to see them and know them. That's incredible.
