Poppy allowed Miss K help him prepare the ground for the garden. He taught her so much, and she loved spending the time with him.
He gave the girls turns riding/driving the tractor. They felt like they were the coolest kids around. Hey, they were!
And here's a shot basking in the sun with DH's grandma, his mom. Family is so important to him; he treasures geneology and hertiage. He has a vast collection of family photos, films, DVD's, 8 mms, etc. as well as books about Italy and American politics. But we won't talk about politics :0)Poppy has an amzaing ability to listen, and make you feel what you have to say is important. He loves to laugh and have a good time; when he finally finishes his projects of the day, and after dinner, it's all about laughing and sharing good times.
So, today I thought I'd share why we love Poppy so much.

He sounds awesome! That photo of your dd on the tractor with him reminds me of my grandpa. I used to ride with him when I was little, and now my kids get to ride. I love it!
Love these photos, Sara. My FIL always took the kids on lawn mower/tractor rides...I think it's a grampa requirement! Wonderful journaling, and the photo of your inlaws is really great; love the BW.
Love your journaling and those shots of Poppy are great! I love the one of your dd on the tractor with him. They'll both treasure these for sure!
