Grandpa Joe meets Derek

It was very interesting watching Joe in his capacity as a new grandparent to Derek. Though he's a grandfather to four beautiful little girls living in Indiana, he hasn't been around them a great deal of time. So, he's not had a lot of exposure being around small children and it's been both scary and funny watching him with Derek. Thank goodness he's had Nancy's grandchildren breaking him in little by little since joining the family almost four years ago. He used to fall asleep sitting on Mom and Dad's couch and wake up with a baby blanket across him, his hair fixed, etc. And, his calling in the Bishopric as the counselor over the Primary, as well as a substitute teacher for the young children in the school system, has definitely broadened his experience as a grandpa.
