Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!
(June 26, 2009)


We had a birthday party for Grandpa this week, he celebrated his 78th birthday this year! If you remember back at Thanksgiving Grandpa had a bad stroke and we were all living at the hospital for two weeks, it is amazing what seven months can do. Grandpa is still in therapy but is still gaining more and more mobility. He can now walk short distances by himself and longer ones with a cane/assistance. He is able to move his right arm better and his speech has improved. We are blessed to have him with us, and hope to have many many more birthdays to celebrate!

Jacob was great at the party and even helped Grandpa blow out his candles, I am afraid that the "pyro" genes from Paul haven't fallen too far from the tree as Jacob is obsessed with fire! Check out the picture really close, everyone else is laughing and looking around but Jacob is steadfast in his view of the candles.......









We have also been swimming a lot this past week, and Jacob loves the pool even with his cast on! Although I am still counting the days until the cast is off and I can have my little rambunctious 22 month old back!
