my grandparents came down for an impromptu visit (if you call a slight 17 hour detour through houston on their way from chicago to phoenix impromptu...) last weekend and we had a great time. we went to soccer practice, the rodeo, played a few classic visser dice games, and just enjoyed our time together. my grandpa (84) and grandma (turning 80 this month!) got down on the floor and played with the kids like they were 25. how great is that? now that i have a family of my own i really love learning more about our history; simple things like hearing about how my grandparents met, or the job my grandpa worked for 30some years while they raised 8 kids together, what it was like buying their first house, and lots of little stories that make me feel blessed and thankful for our extended family.
