This week before Spring Break is jam-packed with special events at the girls' school. They have an Open House, a K-3 Musical and Grandparents' Day. And with the holiday this coming weekend, Dave will be leading 2 of the 3 services. This added up to a bunch of good reasons for Grandpa to book a ticket and come share these special activities with us! (Grandma wanted to come, but couldn't get away from work. We'll miss her!) What is special about this trip is that we managed to keep it a complete secret from the girls. Dave picked up his dad from the airport this afternoon, then Delia and I met them at school where Delia found her Grandpa Surprise in the parking lot. Ella was surprised when she walked out of her classroom to find Grandpa waiting for her. It's been hard not to let the surprise slip out (Delia said to me right after meeting Grandpa: "OH, so this is why you made us sweep and mop everything and clean up!"), but we succeeded in shocking and delighting these kids!
With so much already on the schedule related to school and church this week, I think we'll just take it easy. But, we know the best quality time can happen right at home, as we've already seen in sharing dinner, stories, Just Dance, and a Blackhawks game this evening!
