A Splendid Visit to Family
Millard
 Sunday saw us leave Miffy and Rachel
for a short but very overdue visit to Family Millard. Neither of us could have
imagined meeting Jacob for the first time – the eyes
are captivating. Behind them is a gorgeous (although at the moment full of cold)
young man, full of spirit, enthusiasm and charm. Such a joy.
 I had to admit to Oscar that I didn’t
know anything about Ben 10, so he took me by the hand to his bedroom. On his
door is the picture of us in Water World where we are pretending to hold a baby
penguin. He pointed to grandpas face and said in hushed tones “He’s bigger here
isn’t he”, pointing to his midriff. I stifled a giggle and had to agree in an
equally sombre tone. That done Oscar showed me his
transfers on the wall explaining what came out of the strap on Ben 10’s wrist,
got his book and proceeded to show me all I needed to know about this young
super hero. I have to keep reminding myself that this polite, well-spoken, tall
and charming young man is not four until the end of April. Very Well Done to his
mum and dad.
  Soon enough it was time to build
Batman a helicopter, Grandpa was enlisted to turn the
instruction booklet pages but was sacked when he turned two at once. Dad, Martin
helped with build assistant until Jacob had to go for his morning nap. Oscar had
to put up with the constant interruptions of kisses from grandma. When I said I
was a million behind, he just sighed and gave up his
cheeks for more........
       After lunch it was time to watch the
next generation carry out a famous Millard act. A pile
on. Bella the latest member of the family joined in and gave a good
account of herself, this twenty-one month of springer spaniel has the sweetest
temperament. Adopted from Woodside Shelter, she has made the family complete,
many years of happiness to you Bella. The boys thought it was fun to see just
how ticklish grandpa was. All too soon it was time to leave – for now, to move
on to see the Millard Family. New dates in the diary was all that could shoehorn
me out of the door.
  Father and son
similarity, next time I’ll get Martin to put a pair of his dads glasses
on and get a picture of the three generations.
 Time for a lovely picture of Kim and ‘those eyes’.
ALL IN ALL THE JOY IN US IS
MASSIVE |
