On Monday, my Grandpa Carl and his lady friend Lois came to visit. It was great to see him since we hadn't seen him in about 2 years and he had never met Jay and we had never met Lois. Jay took to Grandpa right away, and loved the fabulous new toy train he brought him. Jay keeps pointing to the train and saying "Granka" (Grandpa) and nodding his head. Jay loves trains but he didn't have one, so Grandpa picked the perfect gift! It was great to meet Lois and we're glad to have her in the family.

We ate dinner at Mike and Stephanie's apartment. We cooked all day making cookies, homemade rolls, honey butter, mashed potatoes, and chocolate cake (made with beets, courtesy of Jessica Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious). Mike and Stephanie made roast and veggies from their garden and the meal was delicious! Definitely worth all the time and dirty dishes put into it!
It was great to talk to Grandpa and get some good family history stories out of him. Once we got him talking he remembered a lot more than he thought he did! There is still lots of family history research to do for his family, but he remembered several first names that will help out the search.
