Mom, Joe and I met with Crystal, our cousin Mona, and her grandson Mason today at Apple bee's for lunch. It was so nice to catch up on all that had been happening and to see how much Mason has grown. He was born a month before Joey and we haven't seen him since they were around 3-4 months old.
Mona's down visiting her son Tyson, a Sacramento Police Officer who last month was shot three times during a routine traffic stop, and somehow managed to squeeze time in to visit with us as well. (By the way Tyson is recovering nicely though he has a long road ahead of him with regard to physical therapy and just plain ol' recovering from his injuries and the resulting surgeries. Your positive thoughts and prayers for his recovery would be much appreciated.) While she's here she helping where she can, and of course spoiling her grandson at every opportunity. Can't say as I blame her as he is such a charming little guy.
Anyway to go on with the details of our lunch.... it was really fun to watch how both boys love cars and trains and played together at the table. They both love to dip their food in ketchup - well in Joe's case he'll dip in anything and thinks nothing of dipping in say spinach artichoke dip, then salsa, and ending with marinara all in the same bite. I think they both ended up wearing as much as they managed to get in their mouths, but looked totally adorable during the process.
Even though Mason is a month older, Joe is probably a head taller than he is but other than that they are very similar - both totally cute. Not like I'm biased or anything. Check it out for yourself.
Our lunch was much to short, but then again some time is better than no time at all, so we'll take what we can get. Hopefully we'll be able to connect again with one another in the near future, and Joe and Mason can have some more "cousin" time to get to know one another better.
