Lily, Eric and Stanley

What wonderful pictures. We love the smile and the excitement on Stanley's face.

Seeing the families again must have been rewarding. How did Stanley make out with his real grandparents? We are only lending him to them. We want him here.

Some many exciting sights. What did Stanley like most? How about you two?

Love Nana & Papa
