Pappy's Visit

You already saw Sunday of Pappy's visit, but here's the rest:

Of course Nathan was all about taking walks with Pappy.  Here they are in the backyard resting after one on Monday.  Well, Pappy is instigating trouble!  Getting ready to surprise Nathan with water down his back!

Checking in on Grandma that evening.

I think I went on a run, to the gym AND took an afternoon nap this day.  That's what I call a good day! So glad Dad was out here to "manny!" ha ha.  That was HIS word :)

On Tuesday, Nathan said he wanted to go to "Focus" when Josh woke up from his first nap.  I don't know what made him think of this, but why not?

It's not easy to get the picture I want these days!

Really lovin' his Pappy this week.

When I would go up to get him after his nap, he would wiggle like crazy and get so excited looking at the door.  He wanted to go downstairs and see his pappy.  The day we dropped Dad off at the airport I think he was disappointed to not find him when he came downstairs!  He was looking all over.

After afternoon naps and some dinner, we all ran to Home Depot and then at Nathan's request, for ice cream!  We went to Sonic.  And guess who tried ice cream for the first time? PEANUT BUTTER no less!

Well, at least we know he isn't allergic! ha ha.

Nathan thoroughly enjoying his sundae.

Especially when it is almost all of the way at the top of the straw anyway :)

Wednesday morning walk.

Someone did NOT want his picture taken! Look at that lip!

Off and running...no more pouty lip.

And another day at the gym without bringing the kiddos for me.  Nice.  Then Elephant Bar for dinner!

I told the man taking this he could taking it vertically.  He said no, it looked good like this.  Guess he wasn't trying to get the elephant :)

Little stinker swiping a spoonful of dad and I's AMAZING shared dessert!  Nathan had already finished his sundae!

Pappy has arms for two.  My back thanked him this week!

At home that night.  Josh was loving Nathan's cars.  Watch how he pretends to want the train and then goes after Nathan's cars.

Thanks for coming, dad!  Missed you immediately.  Thanks for being such a loving and fun pap for my boys.  And thanks for lightening my load.  Matt and I both really appreciated it!

And thanks for getting a picture of me with Nathan and Josh where we are all looking!  Doesn't happen often! Love ya.

Oh my, I am seeing a lot more pictures I like. By the way Nathan, I like your hair cut. It looks like your Dad thoroughly enjoyed those boys. It didn't look like work at all for him. Why was he there, was it a business trip? I guess from FB Deb is out there now too. Love to all,
