Greg was hunting this week in South Dakota. It was wonderful to see him last night when he returned. We DO NOT like it when he leaves, but understand he needs to get quality time with his dad. Greg reported that the hunting wasn't his favorite part this year. It was the conversations and time with his dad that made the trip worth it. Anyway, we are so happy he is home and can't stand even one day without him.
While he was gone, we were able to go to breakfast with Great-Grandpa and Opa. It was nice to see Great-Grandpa. He told me during this time together that his plan is to live until he is 100 years old!
After breakfast we went to Home Depot together to pick up some extension cords for his Christmas lights. Great-Grandpa loved pushing Brooks in the big cart. He said it helped him with his balance as well, so it was a winning situation for everyone! It is always special when we get to hang out with Great-Grandpa. We got two comments from strangers who thought it was cool that 4 generations were shopping together at Home Depot! It is pretty neat.

As always, Opa was the highlight of the breakfast. He makes everything into a game and Brooks loves it. Opa is really good at "turning into a kid" just to relate to his grandkids. It was also nice to get a little relief during Greg's time away. An extra set of hands it always appreciated.
The picture below has nothing to do with breakfast with the family, but Brooks' eyes are so blue that I had to post it. We played outside with Kennedy and Maggie and hung out with them even more than usual while Greg was gone. Thank goodness for sisters to help a sister through being a single parent. We are all back home now and life will return to normal this weekend. Yeah!
