What a shock when Papa showed up on Friday night after Scouts. Normally we are all fast asleep by 10pm but with the excitement of Scouts and a visit at Beckham's home, Frunty was reading in bed while I had a hot bath and Pit snored away. Luckily because Papa was outside throwing stones at the bedroom window where Frunty was reading with his head lamp on. Papa saw the light move around a bit and after the third stone, saw a little face at the window. He expected it to be mama but it was Frunty who was reading about Aboriginal Canadians. Frunty ran down the hall, yelling, "Papa is here!" I was thinking, oh no, Frunty will wake up Pit. I said to the very excited Frunty, "Papa is on skype?" and he said no, Papa is at the door and started to run down the stairs. I yelled behind him, "do not open the door, let me get it, it could be a crazy person that looks like Papa!" But as we looked past the skeleton taped on the glass, indeed there was Papa standing on the porch!! And as Uncle Scot said later, indeed there was a crazy man standing on the porch!
Papa- you are the craziest, most fun guy we know! Showing up out of nowhere, we did not think we would see you for several, long weeks! How exciting and how wonderful that you can stay for a month with us in Toronto! Thank you so much and thanks to your boss who wanted you in D.C and then approved your month-long stay with us. We love you soooooo much! Pit could not let go of Papa for several days, keeping his hand on Papa's neck day and night. Frunty and I were also thrilled and I still can't believe he is here with us. Our family is so lucky!
