On August 19th Grandpa Korfhage and Grandma Cindy made their way from a road trip through Wyoming with their ultimate destination to see their grandson Jack. They weren't supposed to be here until the 20th, but with the temperatures in the 100's and the anticipation of seeing their grandson they came a day early. My father was made to be a grandparent! I think the minute his kids were no longer living in his house he was ready. My dad loves kids and I think that this kid he loves the most. Soon he will have to spread his love to include 2 little ones since my brother and his wife are expecting a little girl in early October.
Grandma Cindy brought a beautiful quilt (pictured) for little Jack. She does amazing work and all her quilting is done 100% by hand. In addition Grandma and Grandpa brought him an elk t-shirt and a bear onesie from Wyoming. Leave it to my dad to make sure he is well outfitted for the outdoors!
Dad and Cindy came with an agenda...They knew that we needed to stain our large deck in a bad way. The 5 of us spent two half days (when the weather was cooler) to get the deck done...and it looks beautiful!!! Of course Grandpa Bob has a hard time sitting still and he trimmed our hedges and mowed and edged our lawn too. We so appreciate his hard work!
In addition to the joy in holding his grandson we took a trip to Cabella's. Jack had his first trip (and I am sure not his last) to an outdoor store. Grandpa Bob held Jackson and showed him all the large elk, mountain goats, and other animals. Jackson seemed to respond most to the gigantic fish tank. Grandpa liked to watch his grandson track the fish.
Even more changes have occurred with Grandpa Korfhage's visit. Jackson in now tracking most objects, he is cooing frequently and he gave Grandpa his first purposeful smile. Grandpa also was trying to convince him that he was a WSU Cougar fan, but at our house we know this is not the truth. His blood is a combination of green and red, but I am sure there is more Oregon Duck to him than there is Utah Ute!
Again we appreciated Dad and Cindy's visit more then they know! I think it is actually Daisy (our dog) who misses them the most. She got spoiled with 3 walks every day. I know they will be back soon! Thanks Dad. Thanks Cindy. We love you.
