Grandpa N. called today to see if he could stop by and have dinner with us. What a fun surprise! His trucking route has now taken him through for Paul's birthday and this time for Valentine's Day weekend! Hmmmm...what's the next big holiday or celebration? (We'll leave St. Patrick's Day open just in case he is trucking through at that time. :-)
Once he pulled into Escondido, Grandpa parked his truck at school and came to our house for a quick shower before we headed for a late dinner at Applebee's. The boys had fun eating out, learning to arm wrestle with Grandpa and even ordering dessert!
As you can see, Isaac enjoyed browsing the menu to pick dessert as well as helping Grandpa cut my leftover steak with his own steak knife. (No children or grandpas were injured.)
Our server added the cherry to Isaac's dessert--Isaac enjoyed the chocolate mousse but probably would have been happy with a bowl full of cherries! We kept joking that Grandpa stuck his chin in the dessert.
These pictures took place within a minute of each other--Isaac obviously enjoying his dessert and Grandpa trying to decide which bite to eat first (steak or key lime shooter).
"These two characters in my booth are crazy!"

What a fun surprise!
Thanks for these great pictures and text...all three "boys" are really growing up. I do believe the whipped cream story...it goes back to Tim's younger days when he floated his cereal in a half-pint of whipping cream every morning!
So good to hear from and see you...THANKS again! Love to all, Jean
So glad it worked out for this visit! Looks like you had a great time.
Wow, the boys are growing up!!!! They are both so darn cute!!
Glad you could have such a nice surprise with a visit from Grandpa.
We love and miss you!
