This year for hunting season Pete's dad came up to Marquette to stay with us for the week. It ended up being a VERY busy week for everyone. There was definitely not a lot of down time. Not only did the guys get a lot of hunting in, Charlie got to spend a lot of one-on-one time with his grandpa. They played with play dough a lot, enjoyed a camp tradition of eating powdered sugar donuts, stacked wood, got a muffin at their favorite bakery, and even spent some alone time when Pete and I went to a couple doctor appointments. Every morning Charlie would pop out of bed and ask if Grandpa was up yet, then run downstairs to see. It was so nice for them to be able to spend the week together. Charlie and Grandpa have had a special bond right from the beginning, and I know it will only grow stronger as the years go on. I have to give Pete's dad a HUGE thank you for everything he did around the house. There are a lot of projects that need to be done, but since I'm pregnant I can't help Pete out as much as I am used to. So thank you, Dad, for all of your hard work that week. It's so much easier to get things done when there are two people who can do some heavy lifting! Hopefully you weren't too exhausted from the trip! We love you very much, and look forward to this tradition in the years to come!
Charlie LOVED trying on Grandpa's reading glasses.

Grandpa gave Charlie the small logs to stack. He just had to be involved!
