The Reason For Our Trip - Kate's Grandfather's 90th Birthday!
Professor Justin Leander van Selm turned 90 on the 6th of
March 2009 and that was the whole purpose of our trip - Kate
had been to his father's 90th birthday in 1978 when she was 8
years old and she wanted Sawyer to do the same - granted he
wasn't even 8 months - so doubtful he'll remember much, but we
were able to capture the visit in pictures and everyone was
thrilled - especially Kate and her beloved grandfather - a.k.a.
"Popop."

Kate And Popop The Morning We Left
It was hard to go, but we cushioned the blow with a great
bottle of sparkling wine!
