Great Grandpa Roy

So, Saxon loves his Great Grandpa Roy. Grandpa Roy turned 80 on Christmas Day and gave each of us a copy of his life story and a DVD of pictures from his Surprise 80th birthday party in October. Gregor came over tonight for dinner and we decided to watch the DVD. Saxon was glued to the TV naming everyone he saw. "Pa-pa" aka Grandpa, "Ma-ma" Grandma Cathy, Brookie, Kasen, BB, Alice, "Saxy and Bubby" aka Saxon and Bridger, etc. Each time it ended Saxon would stand in front of the TV saying "more Pa-pa movie!" We've been watching it all night! I'm sure he must have it memorized now. Finally he went and got my phone and said, "call Pa-pa." Since it's late, I decided that that wasn't the best idea, and it ended in a screaming fit for Saxon. We compromised on sending Grandpa a video instead. This is Saxon sending his love to "Pa-pa Roy"...

Grandpa Roy and Jenna watched Saxon once for me when he was a baby and I had to work. Every time Grandpa would talk, Saxon's eyes would get big and he would look around and try to find "the big voice" as Jenna called it. He was happy all day as long as he could hear Grandpa's voice. Jenna said he must remember his Great Grandpa Roy and his "big voice" from the pre-existence.
