The Ring Bearer

We were thrilled to have my dad come up for a visit a week and a half ago.  With the way everything worked out, Wesley didn't get to spend much time with Grandpa,  but Zach and Grandpa had a WONDERFUL time together!

On Friday morning we went to Zach's gymnastics class, and he was excited to show off his new skills.  Grandpa used to be a gymnast in high school and college, so that made him being there extra special.  Then we went out for lunch and took Grandpa to the park.



Then on Saturday we went to my cousin Dan's wedding, where Zach was quite the handsome ring bearer.  Zach ADORES Stephanie and was overjoyed to be a part of their special day.  We usually have a difficult time getting him to smile for the camera, but he was all smiles for her.



He even smiled for a family picture! (Too bad his eyes are closed....)



After church on Sunday, Zach showed Grandpa some of the new things he learned how to do this summer.  He did his best to catch Grandpa on his bike, but Grandpa's still too fast for him!


Zach was particularly excited about reading to Grandpa.  He's started reading through the BOB books this summer and is really enjoying figuring out how to read.


Zach definitely loves his Grandpa.  We miss you Dad and look forward to seeing you soon!

Oh my, I've been waiting for these! What a handsome little dude. Although, I must admit that my favorite pic was of him with your Dad, even though there was no tux involved. :)
