"Grampa"

Yes?
Can you get me some breakfast?
Yes.
Can you help me fold this paper?
Yes.
Can you help me find my swimsuit?
Yes.
Can you take me to McDonalds?
Yes.
Can you cut a piece of wood for me?
Yes.
Can you glue this stuff on there for me?
Yes
Can you watch me do cartwheels?
Yes

And that was just today, and just one kid!  Do I really need any more of this?

Grampa?
Yes?
What do you think we should call my new baby cousin if it's a boy?
lmao!!  As if I have any say in the matter!  Both in the naming of this pending new grandchild, and in the ability to say no to any of them.!

So the answer is apparently yes.  I need more of this.  And spending time with Kylie the last few days has reminded me just where my priorities belong.  I was trying really hard to make some headway on one of my projects, and it seemed like every time I got on a roll Ky needed me for something else.  It was the realization how easy it was to drop everything, and the realization of how much gratification it brought me, that also brought the realization that it's impossible to have too many grandchildren.

Game on!!

Congratulations to our son Jon, and his amazing spouse Alisha!  They are going to be fantastic parents!  Life is good!!

Love
Peter
