PopO.'s Visit

Last week PopO (the "O" is for Overstreet) came for a visit.  PopO lives in SoCal and had yet to meet his new grandson.

Here he is meeting Isaiah for the first time.  Isaiah was all smiles.

PopO arrived on Tuesday.  The next morning we drove over to Michigan to visit my sister Kelli and her two kids, Caleb and Hannah.  We watched Caleb's tennis match then went out for dinner to Bob's Big Boy.  It was fun.  PopO with his two daughters and five grandkids.  Sadly I didn't get any pictures.

Thursday morning we packed up and drove back to Illinois.  On the way home, however, we took a detour in Indiana and stopped by the Notre Dame campus in South Bend.  Here is PopO and the three kiddos at the football stadium in front of a statue of an accomplished coach, Ara Parseghian.  We did see "touchdown Jesus"

PopO comes to visit every September on his way to one of his national meetings.  This means he has been able to be here for every one of Selah's birthdays.  Pretty special.

PopO's visits aren't always about the grandkids.  This big kid loves having her daddy around even if it is for just a few days.  My dad knows how to encourage, challenge and affirm who I am as a person and as a child of God.  One thing about my dad, "It is all about Jesus".  And it is.

Thanks for coming to visit, PopO.  We love you!!!
