Jax Howard visit--part 3

Between Bouncy House visits, Isabelle got to experience some uninterrupted floor time, and we all got to visit with Papa.  Sweet Isabelle is a very content baby and was kind enough to let Aunt Leslie hold her (despite my being told she only lets her Mama and Daddy hold her).  Papa was a good sport all day, watching the kids play and asking the girls to comb HIS hair since they were so keen on playing beauty parlor.  Lilly responded very acutely, "You have a round bald head, Papa, so we CAN'T brush your hair."  Chef Matt prepared us all a nice dinner of grilled mahi-mahi (which he had caught himself), and we even celebrated my birthday with some yummy cupcakes.  Before Papa left, we bathed the kids (boys in the tub, girls in the shower), and piled them all around him for a photo.  After Papa left, Grandma and Grandpa Howard came by for a visit.  It was nice catching up with them and filling them in on our plans for Sarajevo.  All in all, Sunday was a very nice day for all of the Howards involved!

"Papa, what are you doing back there?" said Isabelle.






"Caleb, you're getting water in my eyes!" said Liam.

How do you get 6 great-grandkids to sit still and smile with their Papa?  You don't.
