Bampa

Dave goes to work pretty early in the morning (at least for me). He's usually out of the house by 7:10 am at the latest. One of my goals for the year is to wake up with Dave so we have a little more time together during the day. Of course, after he leaves, I hop right back in bed until Sammy wakes up, usually around 8:15.

Recently, we started finishing our basement. Dave's dad is doing the framing and will come up a couple of times a week. Yesterday, when the doorbell rang, Sammy ran to the door saying, "Bampa, Bampa, Bampa." When the door opened to reveal grandpa, Sammy was ecstatic.

So, this morning, as I was chatting with Dave over breakfast at 6:45 am, I related the "Bampa" story. As soon as I was done, we heard a little voice from his dark bedroom call out, "Bampa?" Our little Sammy melts our hearts!
