We were thrilled when Grandpa Stobbe came for a visit last week. He made paper airplanes with Ryan and Emma and they raced them for hours. Then, before bed, he promised them a Humpskunk Story on the floor. For those of you who have no clue what Humpskunk is, let me explain: Humpskunk is a giant who Grandpa made up years ago when he told stories to his children. When I was little, I remember him telling them to me too. My favorite one involved some sort of giant rock throwing contest where Humpkunk missed his target and kept hitting the moon- giving the moon all it's craters. Over the years, his stories of Humpskunk adventures have become a family tradition and something I still look forward to hearing. My kids loved it so much. All three snuggled in and Madeline insisted that Grandpa not let go of her finger.

Oh my goodness. What lucky kids to have such a great Grandpa! So special and dear. I want to hear a humpskunk story. They will remember that forever.

These are great pictures and a great tidbit about Great Grampa and story telling. Hoping someone has either recorded or otherwise documented the stories for future generations or even a book for others to enjoy. Grampa looks so vital and perfect for Ryan, Emma, Maddie and all the kids. I'm lovin' this update and all the sweet faces. GA Jean
