Last Thursday after my OB appointment, Sarah and Brian stuck around Toledo and had dinner with us. They had not met our kids yet and we thought this would be a perfect opportunity. Joe wanted to take them to a Toledo landmark for dinner and suggested the original Tony Packo's. My reaction was, "Really? You want to take them to the East Toledo?" LOL You really can't beat a Tony Packo's chili dog, though.
We got done with our appointment around 3:15 and headed over there for an early dinner. Joe met us there with the kids. It was nice because the restaurant wasn't very busy at that time, either. I always get a little nervous when my kids are around people they've never met before because you never know how they are going to behave. All in all, they were pretty good and they took to Sarah and Brian right away. John was his usual outgoing self and wasn't afraid to talk to them at all. (Hmmm...who does he get that from, Honey?) He cracks me up with how "grown up" he sounds when he talks sometimes. Alex, who is usually shy anways, was very quiet for about the first half of dinner and wouldn't really even make eye contact with anyone. Eventually, though, he opened up, especially when Sarah got him talking about playing Angry Birds :). Grace was a little in between the boys. She wanted to glue herself to my lap, but interacted with us pretty well.
Dinner was yummy and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. By the way, I had their chicken chili and it was delish! And I'm not a huge chili fan.
So, now when we talk about Sarah and Brian at home, the kids will have faces to put with the names. : )
