Grandpa Came to Visit!

On Wednesday, Lennard drove up to Calgary and picked up his Dad, Alicia and Rigel so they could come for a visit!  It's been so long since he's been able to come that the kids were overjoyed!  I tried to get the kids to go to bed, but the second they heard the door open they were up and out of bed to see Grandpa!  They haven't seen Aunt Alicia or Rigel for years, so it was fun for them to get to know them a little better.

We had a busy day on Thursday with piano lessons, dinner with everyone, Ben to martial arts and then I had Book Club!

Friday morning, Lennard, his Dad, Alicia and Rigel all went in to Lethbridge.  Lennard had a couple appointments and they did a few errands before getting home around lunch time.  Lennard got a new cast put on, although he wishes they'd just take it off!  Then, we turned around and headed back in this afternoon so that we could go to dinner at the Keg!  The kids loved getting to see Grandpa take the lift up at the restaurant. It was a team effort!

 It was pretty awesome to have us all together at our favorite restaurant.  We feel so blessed to have Grandpa here.  He's had some health issues that have slowed him down a bit more and we weren't sure whether he'd ever be able to visit our home again or not (darn stairs!).  The kids have absolutely loved having him here as well as their aunt and cousin!
