A Quick but Great Visit

Ryan, Lily and I were so excited to see Grandpops (aka, Ryan's dad) who was in town on business today. He had a couple hours between meetings so we met him at Doc Green's for a lunch date. I kept telling Lily we would see Grandpops who was here from Chicago; he and Jan had recently sent Lily a book about Chicago that she loves. She kept saying "Pops" and "Cago" and seemed so excited all the way over to lunch. Of course, she totally clammed up when she saw him. She did smile big at him though when he mentioned Grandma Jan! It took a few minutes, but she finally warmed up. Unfortunately, we had to leave before she was willing to give hugs or kisses (really, balancing on the curb was too much fun); she blew him a kiss though so that will have to hold him over until next time. It is always a treat when we get to visit. We don't get to see him or Jan nearly enough!
