great grandpa and headbands

we had a special visit from great grandpa steenwyk yesterday. i had told boden that grammy, papa, and great grandpa were coming for a visit after lunch. we were talking about how great grandpa was daddy's papa. he seemed to be having a hard time getting his mind around that, and in the process, was seemingly getting a little scared about the whole visit. saying things like 'no great grandpa in the yellow house.' (which is a variation of 'no monkeys in the yellow house.' for some reason he now has a fear of his beloved monkeys jumping on the bed, but that is a whole other story. :) ) so i was a little worried how it was all going to go. when they got here, boden was definitely wary of the whole situation and wouldn't go near great grandpa for a bit. which, anyone who knows great grandpa steenwyk would shake their heads in disbelief of how anyone could be scared of this sweet, sweet man! anyway, by the end we couldn't get him to sit on his lap, but he was giving great grandpa high fives and kisses with vigor. maybe next time we'll get the lap...

grammy, papa, great grandpa, boden, and heidi.


big loud kiss for great grandpa!


while they were here, grammy gave heidi a headband she had knitted to match the ball she had made heidi for christmas. doesn't she look so cute?


after grammy left, boden got ahold of the headband and came out sporting his new look. pretty sure that is not what grammy had intended.... :)
