4th Generation Introduction
The simplest way to keep them from destroying everything in the hospital room... And why wouldn't we love to go and visit the kids Great Grandpa... The only 'great' one they have... So we planned an (unfortunately) quick trip to Abbotsford, so the kids could see him, and Brooke could meet him. FYI December is not the best time to do a road trip out to BC... Don't even ask us about the 8 hr trip that took 13... (thankfully we have good travellers) His lovely wife Pauline put us up in their 'tiny' condo that will never be the same... and we managed well, and had a good time and got our share of hugs in... Parting goodbye was "don't be having anymore kids anytime soon"... We think she meant that it was busy enough... and not that we couldn't handle anymore kids :)
P.S. While he is 92 and appears tired Wade noticed that grandpa still has it...
1. Can rip your arm off shaking it
2. Is thankful for ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING...
3. Still cries about how dear these young kids are...
Love you Grandpa!!! (we'll see you again soon)

Awww... so glad you and your kiddos got to see your grandpa. He's so dear to us, so I know how dear he must be to you! And yes, that handshake of his is something I always think of when I think of dear Elmer.
