BOB



One year ago today Mike's dad, Bob, passed away. He is missed everyday and the kids still talk about Grandpa Bob almost everyday. This morning before they left for school I told them to each think about their favorite memories of Grandpa to share with each other tonight. This is what they shared:

Rylee:
1-Going to San Fransisco for the day with Grandpa and Grandma.
2-Helping him do his physical therapy while he was in the hospital.
3-His crazy music he listened to like the song "Dead Puppies"

Cole:
1-Grandpa singing the Chicken Song (it's a song Bob would play on the piano while he clucked like a chicken).
2-His belching (only boys would appreciate something like this).
3-His pancakes! (my kids love breakfast and grandpa always made pancakes for them when they slept over and they liked telling Mike that Grandpa made the best pancakes, even better than dad's)

Noah:
1-Grandpa teaching him how to play scrabble and playing with him.
2-His pancakes!
3-His belching (he said burping and said no wait Grandpa belched not burped...whatever).

Jenna:
1-Grandpa singing silly songs to me.
2-He had fun with me.
3-Jumping on his belly (she loved to jump on him while he was sitting in his chair watching TV or reading or trying to relax, he would try to catch her and she would giggle so hard).

I love that they all have so many good memories. I love this picture of Bob, he was such a fun loving guy and always doing or saying something to make us laugh and smile.

WE MISS YOU and LOVE YOU BOB!
