Hey everybody – this is Maile. I picked up typing over the last few days and thought I’d write this post myself.

I had quite a surprise waiting for me when I woke up this morning. Apparently, my Grandpa Cal caught a “red eye” flight from Hawaii to come see me. Sure enough when I woke up at 7 AM he was already here.

Now, my dad went to pick up Grandpa and went back to bed when he got home – so we don’t have any pictures of our actual first meeting. Instead we staged a “re-enactment” a few hours later after dad woke up.

I had a great day hanging out with my Grandpa. We went for a walk, we watched Tom Watson choke, we listened to the Red Sox game (tough loss, but Lester pitched great), he helped my dad change the light bulbs (even climbed up a ladder!), he grilled us lamb (or at least I think that was lamb I tasted during my evening feeding) – but mostly he held me a bunch, which was quite awesome!

So now I’ve met all 4 of my grandparents – I can already tell that I am definitely a lucky girl and can’t wait to spend more time with them!
