A big welcome to the Northwest Indiana/Chicagoloand area to my grandpa. He moved in with my parents last weekend, and I'm beyond excited to have him close by. I love this photo of him with my mom, even though it's a bit blurry - because (a) it's at Redamak's, one of my favorite places to eat and (b) it shows how much they look alike. (Kevin calls them "the twins.")
My parents have been champs: getting him moved out of the home in central Indiana where he'd lived for years and years, rearranging their own house, showing him all of our favorite places around town...It sounds like my other grandparents and cousins and aunts and uncles have chipped in as well - moving his furniture, showing him the best place to get his hair cut, stopping by to chat. And my dad's dog, Buckner, makes sure that Papa is warm and loved by plopping onto his lap every time he sits down on the couch.
It's so weird but so great to know he's living with my mom and dad. I can't wait to visit again.
Welcome, Papa. We're so glad to have you here!
SO glad to have him here!! All grandparents in LP is the way I like it. :)
