I was so blessed to grow up with such amazing parents and, although I miss my mom something fierce, I am so grateful for the quality time I recently got to have with my dad. He drove all the way here to see us. And, he brought presents... He made Quincey a wagon full of blocks that he also made. Quincey is a little too young to get into the blocks much but she LOVES being pulled around in the wagon. She has such a great time in it.
And then, my dad also helped us put up a fence in our backyard to keep Quincey safe. Our backyard had so many weird things going on with it when we bought it. One of which is these weird posts that stick up. And beyond them, like an 8 foot drop off to an area that we do know was made to park an RV. So, before she goes running a hundred miles and hour and disappears over the edge, a fence needed to go up and there's no better helping hand (and capable) then my dad! The fence looks AMAZING! I couldn't believe how good it turned out.
On day 3 Quincey finally warmed up to Ol' Grandpa and was bringing him books to read, sitting on his lap, and much more friendly.
We also got to spend some time in the mountains. It was great to get out of the city for a bit.
It warms my heart like nothing else I've ever felt to see my parents (dad) with my own child. For years and years and years (like 29 to be exact) I have watched my parents be grandparents to all my sisters kids and FINALLY, I get to see my dad light up for my own child. Nothing like it. I hated to see him leave and cried when he did. Any time with him is precious time.
