Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

     Today is Grandpa's 65th birthday!  Even though we get to see him and Grandma on Tuesday, we'd like to post it on here for all to see!  Mark was very lucky to have him as a father growing up, teaching him the value of hard work and being around your family.  Mark is following right in his dad's footsteps by getting up while it's still dark, driving a box truck, and having a laid back attitude about life.  Just like Mark waited for his dad to get home from work to throw a baseball, Marcus is now doing the same for Mark.  And since we told Marcus that Grandpa and Grandma are coming to town, he's been asking if he can throw a ball with Grandpa, too.  Yes, son.  I'm sure Grandpa will be SO EXCITED to do that with you. 

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!  We love you! 

This was the first day Grandpa and Grandma met Marcus.

Marcus' first time to visit family in Canada.

Grandpa loves showing Marcus the flowers in the greenhouses.

Grandpa is so silly!

This picture shows Grandpa's patience with one specific grandchild (eh-hmm, Marcus).

Both these boys love tractors!

3 Generations of Schuurman men!

If Marcus wants it - Grandpa usually says yes.

Walking down the hill with Grandpa.

They are always smiling when they're with each other.

Grandpa had to round Marcus up.  He didn't want to come to supper.

Taking it all in together.

Grandpa and Daddy took Marcus for a boat ride, too.

More tractors :)

Marcus definitely loves his Grandpa!
