Poppa and Connor



Every morning during Gary and Sue's visit, Connor would snuggle up with Poppa on the couch in the early morning. Poppa tells stories ... many stories ... and Connor absolutely soaked up every word. In fact, Connor is now practicing his own storytelling skills!

Usually Poppa was lying down on the couch and Connor would just climb up and settle in ... I only got this picture where they were sitting, but Connor's attentive look tells it all.

In addition to many walks, bike rides, and outings ... Sue and Maggie painted toenails; Gary and Maggie had many tea parties and played "restaurant;" Sue and Connor read lots of books to each other; Gary and Connor told stories; Sue listened intently to Brady's ideas and dreams; Gary engaged Brady in conversations around ethics and morals. It's always special to watch grandparents interact with grandchildren.

Before bed tonight, Connor was very sad ... he realized that tomorrow morning Poppa will not be here to tell him a story.
