"Pop! Stuff"

Hey Dendie and Will,

I sure didn't take Pop! very long to break my ONLY New Year's Resolution and that was to blog to you once a week. But I'll try to do better. I posted on Facebook that I was coming to town in February and I can't wait. But I really nearly messed up BIG TIME. I made a comment that Daddy and Momba needed to "beware". Will, I know you don't understand this yet but Dendie can explain the "secret" stuff we do that sometimes it is better not to tell Daddy and Momba, now not bad stuff, just grandparent stuff that we do with our very special grandkids. I think I fixed it when I told Momba that I meant to say "take care" not "beware". Anyway, I believe that we'll still be able to do all that "Pop! stuff".

I hope you guys really like your new place in Texas. From the pics on Facebook it looks like you have a really nice place and I can't wait for you to show me all the new things at your new place. Hopefully Momba and Daddy will let us boys have some time by ourselves to explore the neighbor-I promise I won't get you into trouble-and we'll have a blast doing it.

I miss both of my little buddies and remember,

Pop! loves you

Happy New Year

Hey Dendie and Will,

Well, pop! has made ONE New Years's resolution and that is to blog to my little buddies at least once a week. Hope you are enjoying your temporary stay at Travis while you are waiting for the move to Abilene. I think you are going to love living in Texas- "hook 'em horns." Pop! hasn't done a very good job in blogging the last few months but I hope to do better in 2010.

I do think about both of you EVERYDAY...I wish that I could see you everyday but that is life. I love you both very much and I hope to see you for a WEEK (if momba and daddy can put up with me) in March but until then remember....


pop! loves you

Hey Dendie and Will,

A week from tomorrow pop! and Jadda will be in California to see my two best buddies. I can't wait and Jadda feels the same. We plan on having a great time with you two guys. Dendie you and I will get to play some golf in the backyard and hopefully we'll celebrate birthday with a bunch of presents. And little Will, we'll get to meet in person for the first time. It's too early for you and I to break any rules yet but just ask Dendie what is in store when you get a little older. But we have to be sure to keep all this between me, you and Dendie-our little secrets. I know it will be Dendie's birthday but there will be some presents in store for you also.

I'll see my two buds in a week and remember...

pop loves you

I want pop! and Jadda

"You mean we're NOT going to get pop! and Jadda"



"Now, when did you say that they would be here?"

These are my little buddies!!! Aren't they great?

Growing pains

Hey Will,

How's my little buddy doing? Daddy, you know that big person that acts so goofy, says that you are doing great. I wouldn't have expected any less. I try to look at the pictures your daddy posts everyday. I talk with you everyday, too. I can't wait to meet you in person.

I also understand that Dendie is becoming quite the big brother. He is really a special little boy also. Now when I come to visit I'll have to partners "in crime". Most of what we do is very innocent but we just have to be careful about letting momba and daddy know about it. Dendie especially likes it when...I guess I should be careful in case they are reading this. Your Jadda keeps saying that I am going to get us banned as grandparents, but the way I see it is that what we keep between us is our little secret.

See if you can talk momba and daddy into posting more pictures...I know you are finding it hard for them to understand you but think about your brother. At least now he has the partially trained. You want have to go through as many growing pains with them as Dendie did. But for now just remember...

pop loves you...just ask Dendie

A New Little Buddy

Hey Will,

Well, you are FINALLY here. Your daddy, who you just met, called me about an hour ago. I am so excited to be awakened from a not so deep sleep. Your daddy's voice was just like it was when he called announcing your brother's arrival. A soft nearly serene voice. I could hear the joy and happiness in his voice. I'm glad your here my little buddy.

You'll get to meet your brother, Brendan, soon and he is a great boy. He's my little buddy also. I have wondered how I would feel when you finally got here and I feel GREAT. I can't wait to meet you in person. As I sit here I am already imagining what you look like. I sure wish I could see you.

Your Jadda is away at a Yoga thing. I sent here an email announcing your arrival. She is the BEST. Jadda and I will be out in September to see you and celebrate big brother and Uncle Zac's birthday. But until then remember...

pop loves you
