Damien Richard Gets a Special Visit from Grandpa Richard

Grandpa Richard has a new job at the Arthritis Foundation and had some business in Sacramento so we were lucky enough to get a special visit for a few days. Grandpa came on the first plane Sunday morning and left Tuesday night, a short but wonderful visit. On Sunday we took a walk to our favorite brunch place nearby, Homemade Cafe (a place Grandpa used to take Mommy when she was a Cal student!). D was a champ the whole time. Shortly after Papa left to go teach a windpower workshop at his alma matter Midland School. On Monday evening Grandpa and Mommy took Damien to our favorite sushi place where he was again really well behaved. Must have been Grandpa's calming presence. Thankfully Grandpa was there to help Mommy deal with the biggest poop crisis to date - little D, who is quite fond of his jumperoo, literally jumped the shit out of himself. Momma was dumbfounded as to how to deal with the messy situation. Grandpa to the rescue - strip him down and hose him off in the sink! Thanks Grandpa for the great visit!!

Reunited! Grandpa Richard gets quality bonding time with his only grandchild.

The boys outside the cafe - looks like a postcard to me!

No, the Giraffe was not on the menu!

Just a little final playtime before bed.
