My kids are blessed to have the best and coolest pappaw, pretty much ever. My dad makes an extra effort to stay close with my kids even though we live so far away. Ella and Grace LOVE to call pappaw at night for bedtime stories. They put the phone on speaker and lie in bed, in the dark and listen to my dad tell them stories that he told me as a kid. He then sings them a few songs. He sings them songs that were passed down from their four times great grandma (Grandma Dean) whose husband died in the Civil War battle at Shiloh. And he sings them Elvis.
My dad (and mom) were supposed to be here Wednesday night to stay for a week and attend the Boston Family reunion. But work got all messy for dad (other people, not dad) and now he HAS to stay in Memphis. Thankfully my mom is still coming but we are thoroughly bummed that pappaw wouldn't be.
I am so terribly thankful for the wonderul parents Heavenly Father gave to me and the incredible grandparents they are to my kids. The video above is black since it was dark in my girls room when story time was winding down. This is my dad singing Elvis to my girls. How cool is that?

That is so sweet! I'm sorry he won't be able to come but I know you'll have a great time with your mom.
That is so dang cute. What a great grandpa he is for your kids. Have fun with your mom!
