Well done Engel

Andrew's grandfather turned 90 last week and we all travelled up to make an event of it, of course! He's such a trooper. What a weekend watching our kids interact with one of their great grandfathers. Looking forward to more of this at Christmastime...

Here he is playing Uno with Laura, Alie and me. I won and he accused me of cheating. The question is not whether he still has his marbles, it's whether or not he can handle losing! :)

He was rather impressed at the ability to see ourselves as we took the photo!

At the end of the party...
Quote of the weekend courtesy of Daniel (and proof that I underestimate what kids are capable of):
"Do you know what my favourite part of the party was? Listening to Opa's stories about his life when he was younger. I even understood some of what he was saying." 
Never say they don't pay attention.

Oh my gosh a great big belly laugh feels so good this time of day! Thank you Daniel! I remember the first time I could actually understand some of what the minister was saying! I remember the amazement!
