Happy Birthday Grandpa!

I know I haven't updated this for a while, so I apologize to all you avid readers who have been waiting ever so patiently for my return. We were crazy-busy the week leading up to our holidays, trying to tie up all the loose ends before we took off on our adventure, so I wasn't able to put anything up before our holidays. And now that we are back, I have many stories and adventures that I have to put together so that you can all share in our experiences.
But first things first:
My Grandpa has just turned 90 years old! Now that is something to be proud of. Not only is my Grandpa in wonderful condition, physically, mentally, etc, but he still has a sence of adventure about him. He was so excited to come to Mexico with us to witness our numptuals, and it was amazing that He and my Grandma were able to be there with us. I know that there are many things that they would enjoy over here too, but I think that it may be a little too much to ask to get them all the way across the world!!
Anyway, Ryan and I missed out on the big 9-0 celebration with the family, but my class and I made a special tribute to my Grandpa for his birthday. The kids helped me make a beautiful birthday card and they all sang happy birthday! I sent pics of the card and copies of the videos through, and I hope they made it, but for those of you who didn't get to see:





They were all very excited to sing, but as soon as the camera came out they all went a bit camera shy! However after Jacob did his solo they all wanted a chance, so I taped each one singing happy birthday, but that is just too much video to put up here so you will have to wait until we get home to see the rest!
BTW, the one in the yellow shirt is my Nanny, and the one in the Black is a TA who used to work at the school. She was helping out for the day as my new TA doesn't start until the new term.
