Happy early BDay BBQ . . .

Andy's birthday is Weds, he'll be 22. Yikes! To celebrate he invited the family to his house in Monmouth for a BBQ. Since he has been such a workaholic this summer we haven't seen much of him, but he did manage to take one day off this week so we could get together. He manned the grill while we visited under the pop-up canopy shade (thank goodness it was there!). It reached a sweltering 99 degrees today and by the time we left this afternoon the babies and the grannies were melting (me included!). It was fun to have Amanda (Brian's daughter) here with us, she was able to visit with the boys and see the new grandsons, which she says and I quote are "very cute" ;). Hopefully, we can get together a couple more times before she heads back to school for fall in Hawaii. Andy was happy with his bday gifts: gift certificate to Les Schwab for some new tires on his VW squareback, cash (always good), inappropriate tshirt from his brother. . of course!, and we got him an air conditioner for his attic bedroom at the house that reached about 150 degrees today I think. I'm sure that will get put to good use during this hot weather anyway. Lucas got to meet cousin Nick's new puppy Butters, who enjoyed smothering him in kisses a little more than Lucas wanted him to.
