World's best grandparents

Grandparents always bring you something. The kids both got magic t-shirts that are black and white until they go out in the sun, when colors appear. But having read this, I'm sure you can all understand what excited me most:



Archer was pretty excited, too; he expressed it by running into the room repeatedly and tumbling onto the carpet with an expression of delight.

Then he and Cady Gray got down the serious business of playing.





Later Papa helped them practice on their bikes.





Happy kids riding off into the sunset ... that's what grandparents can do.



At lunch today:

Me: Cady Gray, what's your favorite thing about Granny Lou?
CG: That she loves me.
Me: Archer, what's your favorite thing about Granny Lou?
Archer: That she is 72 years old.
Me: Cady Gray, what's your favorite thing about Papa?
CG: That he loves me, too.
Me: Archer, what's your favorite thing about Papa?
Archer: That he is always the same age as Granny Lou -- 72 years old.

Don't tell me they still manufacture that stuff? Or was there a stash down in a Dalton warehouse someplace?

Ooh, that is a pretty cool carpet.
