The kids love their grandparents on both sides, and so do I for that matter, but there is something magical about Papa coming to stay. Papa makes sure things run smoothly, everything is in its place, and everyone is happy. People are fed and their needs are met (okay, a Doug sized pink and red puppy may not have been a need, but Soph surely can't live without it now). That's my version, the kids might think its magical because of the constant sugars, listening ear, availability to play games, watch TV, go for walks and bedtime stories. I like that dreamy place where my papa is always here, and I don't have to worry that he is missing my mom or that she is feeling lonely. The Prescott family is so lucky to have them both there all of the time, I hope they enjoy them as much as I do.

Sounds like you all had a wonderful time. Always treasure those times when you can with them.
Sherrie, that is how I feel about my dad when he comes. The kids know he is always good a wrestling match and a donut. I love having him here and miss him whne he goes back to AZ. What fun memories.
These pictures are so sweet! I can see a lot of your dad in Sophia-- that same sparkle. I'm glad you had a chance to spend some time with your family!
Oh, I forgot to say how much I LOVE your family pictures! SO BEAUTIFUL!!
I haven't seen my dad for almost a year. And that visit was too short. Fortunately they are actually planning on moving into the house nextdoor to us. No joke. Looks like the Paynes are becoming Southerners!
Great pics, you all look so happy and beautiful!
