Papa C's Visit with Jack (oh and us too I guess)

Check back in the archives under January 2008 for Jack's Side of the Story. I had to get pictures from our weekend away with Jack and the Grandparents in order to do the post.

Papa C was "in town" for a Conference this week so instead of flying back on Thursday, Jack and I drove to Lewisville to pick him up to spend the rest of the day and Friday with us.

"I know you are happy to see me Papa C. I'm happy to see you too. Now loosen that hold a little and put some clothes on me...there is a Wintery Mix on the way tonight."


"Forget clothes...this is daring and FUN!"


"Yummy, give me some more of that cat food...I mean beef in beef gravy. At least I know you won't eat it all like my Puffs."

"Rub a Dub Dub- Jack and Papa C in the tub."

"I sure am glad you were able to visit Papa C...when I wake will you still be here or is this just a fantastic dream?"

"It wasn't a dream Mom...it's morning and he's still here."

"Come closer Papa C...let me feel you and make sure this is for real."

"This is my nap time Papa C, my tummy is a bit upset from those meds, and I'm worn out. Had fun though playing with you and Gymbo."

"I don't get it...aren't those for Mommies that make milk for their babies? Are you a Mommy? Do you make milk? If so...that stuff is sweet...can I have some?"

Explanation: Betsy was having pump issues so Dad was testing the suction on mine, so that he could compare it to the suction on her pump, to determine if she needs to get a new one. Had to take the picture because, well, it is hilarious! What a Grandfather will do for his Grandchildren.

"Saying good-bye is always hard to do. Don't worry Papa C...I'll see you next week when we come in for the Bacchus Ball. I love you!"

Here are two videos I took at Gymboree. When we got there I look over and see Dad giving some lady a high five. Apparently she remembered him from a Saturday Class that Nick and Dad took Jack to and was celebrating Tigers win. Then shortly after class started Jack's teacher, Linda, who we haven't seen in awhile said how glad she was to see Jack again and how happy she was that JACK'S DAD could join us for class....after clarifying that Dad was my Dad for the rest of the class the other Mom kept commenting how impressed they were that he was participating so eagerly and actively...I secretly whispered that he'd be hurting later :) It was fun and I'm glad that they let us come to a class we weren't enrolled in because with the weather we had to do something indoors.

God I thought Jack father just turned thirty and was not in his fifties.
