A visit from Pa Pa aka Pops


My dad came to visit this past weekend.  It was a last minute thing, but we were so happy that he came.  He had a rough week – he had to say goodbye our family dog Buffy.  Buffy had been with our family for almost 15 years and we’d all had some crazy adventures with her.  We will all miss the Buff Puff :(
I think Evelyn cheered my dad up quite a bit.  We kept it low-key, but we had fun with him.  Evie just loves her Pops.  Before he came, I was trying to get her to say Pops.  She wouldn’t so I asked her to say Pa Pa…and she said it!! It so cute!  She whispered it at first and then, when she could see how proud I was, she said it again louder.  When my dad got there, Evie said it for him too and his eyes just lit up.  It was such a special moment.  We had dinner with him and got ice cream.  Evie was in heaven!  She had some bites of mine and when it was gone, she ignored me completely in favor of her Pops (who still had part of a cone).  Evelyn eventually managed to score the last bit of his cone.  She was one happy girl.  The next day when my dad went to leave, Evie was upset.  She really didn’t want him to leave.  And why would she – he gave her ice cream, they played outside, he pushed her on her swing, tickled her, made her laugh and never told her no!  When he left, she was stuck eating veggies and doing boring stuff with her ol’ mom and dad. ;)  Can’t wait til next time – we miss you Pops!
