A visit from Papa Geoff

Grace cuddling with Papa Geoff after a morning bath.  She was showing him her curls.

Not the best picture, but this is Bryleigh Teaching Papa Geoff how to play Wii Bowling.
The weekend of August 5th my dad (aka Papa Geoff, or Geoffrey Jones) came for a visit all the way from New York to be apart of Grace's blessing.  I think my dad is one of those men that just get better with age.  I so enjoyed spending time with him.  He even let me flat iron his hair.  What a good sport. We had long talks both serious and silly.  The girls just ate him up.  Grace of course loved her cuddle time and Bryleigh loved playing with him.  Bryleigh even got my dad playing the Wii.  It's funny to look at Grace and see some of the facial expressions that she makes because they remind me so much of my dad.  We ended his trip with a early morning breakfast at 5th Street Bagels.  My Favorite.  We sat by the fire and chatting. Although his stay was short, I was most thankful to be able to spend time with him and make some most cherished memories.  When he left. Bryleigh was sad because she didn't know when she would be able to see him again.  She wants to know move to New York to be closer to him.  Time can only tell where we will end up.  For now we will be thankful for the times we do have together.
One of Papa Geoff's favorite activities to do is to play mini golf.  Mom  still one though =)
Papa Geoff in perfect form.
