Grandpa book

Happy Father's Day to all the dads in our lives!

Biscuit is at my parents' house, so we actually celebrated Father's Day last Sunday.

Biscuit and some of his fellow piano students played for a little while at a nursing home. Then we took Jeff to a movie and dinner, and of course there were presents.

I actually made a Father's Day present for Biscuit, too.

We watched a movie recently about the Day of the Dead holiday and how important it is to remember family members who have died. That brought up all kinds of conversations about death and heaven and how to remember people after they're gone.

And of course, since my father-in-law is the only person Biscuit has lost, that's who he was thinking about.

My sister-in-law passed along a coupon code for a photo book, and I decided to make a book for Biscuit with pictures of him and his grandpa.

Here's the cover:

I found some really good pictures to use. Here are a few that I included:

I gave Biscuit his book and fully expected him to say, "That's nice," and put it aside and go about his playing. That's the kind of thing that you'd expect him to like when he's older.

But when Biscuit opened it, he sat right there and looked at every single page. It almost made me cry. He didn't remember the early photos, obviously, but once he got to the photos he remembered, he got excited.

I hope he enjoys it for many years to come.
