Pile on Poppa

Earlier today I had all three of our Philly grandchildren on my lap and at my side. Todd took the picture and called it "pile on Poppa". It's been a wonderful couple of days now with those wonderful three kids and we are looking forward to the coming week with them.

When we arrived yesterday afternoon they were playing in the backyard on a playdate with three other neighborhood kids. The older child was a classmate of Henry. It was nice to see them all there together having fun.

Our kids were very happy to see us. We spent a lot of time that first evening cuddling and hanging out together. They had so much to show us.

Today has been a continuation of last night. It has been especially fun to spend time with Violet. The last time we saw her she was only a week or so old. We have had many video chat sessions but there certainly is nothing like holding them in our arms. Violet has been very happy to see us and smiles lovingly all the time.
