The 24th I got the opportunity to take my Dad and Stef to the Berlin Inn. We had a lovely dinner and were attended by a great server. Best of all it was a quiet dinner with Amy and Charissa. Neil was kind enough to mind the two older boys. Donovan slept through the entire meal. We chatted about old time, met new grandchildren, shared a laugh and generally had a wonderful, albeit mildly crowded evening. We even topped it off with a desert each and shared a bite of everyone's chosen goodies. Dad even got a fresh baked sugar free pumpkin pie that was still slightly warm. His was the only dessert I didn't take a taste of as I really detest pumpkin anything:-P
It was wonderful to watch Dad and Stef discover the latest greatest grandson! It was lovely to watch Dad take Donovan into his arms and get a glimpse into the past and see what it must have been like when I was a baby. He was so gentle and tender. Stephanie looked on so adoringly but unobtrusively. It was great that Donovan got his introductions without his older brothers feeling displaced while all the attention was focused on the newest addition.
