Fringe Benefits

There are certainly some selfish benefits of having grandma come in that involve her wanting every possible minute with Max to herself and us taking advantage of that to get away for a night and have some fun. So when we asked if we could take off for the evening to a BBQ with some friends, she and we jumped at the opportunity.


Caitlin with some of her bazzlitches. They look like they are so happy and smiley...that is because they were anxiously watching the BBQ for the food to be ready.


Master Chef Bubba owns the que. dude grills up some fat and sweaty wieners, no doubt. I guess they had a bunch of Hebrew wieners in the fridge that were going to waste...so they invited us Gentiles over to consume them up.


Caitlin went veggie of course, but she was happy to just be in tue sun and not chasing a baby. Also, she had to wear glasses cause she'd be getting LASIK in a few days!!!


The evening was one where precious photos could be taken of precious children that aren't ours.


Oh, precious Eli.


We could teach other kids about feeding ducks.


Or watch the turtles in the pond by the apartment.


And party in the pool playing with $2 lacrosse paddles and showing the world that my shoulder is getting better. Okay, foolin. That's not my bad shoulder. But still, this was some of my first rough housing since the operation.

More selfish partying thanks to grandma coming up!
