Grandchild Weekend


This is a picture that Piper took of Jasper and Silverbead. The camera could not keep up with her photographic pursuits, but produced a very arty snap nonetheless. And it seems to capture the tone of the weekend as a whole, one of action and fun.

This was the first time we had both grandchildren staying overnight and for two nights in a row at that. Young Jasper took all it in his stride, being able to see his favourite sister about the place. That was consoling enough for him to not miss Bec and Gord overtly. And we were people he was always pretty happy to be around... "Pippa, Poppa... Poppa, Pippa..." covering all bases with outbursts like that.

When Bec and Gord came by to pick them up they looked refreshed from being away and that was a great encouragement for us too. If there was a hard part to the weekend it was settling the little ones down each night. It doesn't get any easier with grandchildren.
