Crashing Cousins

Past Sunday, after KILLING it at the Columbus flea market, we had a cookout at Tyler's to celebrate his new deck. It didn't collpase under our weight so, good job ol' boy.

These cousins enjoy each other

Rain Just Missed Us

The Trunks came over for dinner last night and Isabella brought Yuula a gift.

She handed it to her so sweetly and as a return gesture Yuula threw it on the floor. What a sweetheart!

Laura somehow managed to whip up a monster meal last night including burgers, homemade fries, deviled eggs, beer battered brats, pasta salad, and cheery pie. I was full before I finished one course. And the rain just missed us. Come on up. We will do one for you.

The girls had a great time with beads and trampolines and slides and flashing each other. Apparently they're both embracing the shirtless look for this summer. It's too soon to be concerned.

Rainy day out today but we have plans to keep us busy.

My Wife, The Carnosaur

DSC_0010

I love the days when Laura comes home from work and without saying hello makes a beeline to the back deck, raw meat in tow, and begins to grill, feverishly, as if she's been salivating all day long awaiting the fleshy taste of animal on her lips.

Yesterday was one of those days, and I must admit, I wasn't all that surprised to see that she was cooking seven pork steaks. Yup. Seven pork steaks for two people, and one baby. But the reality is that we will probably only eat two or three of them tonight. The other four are for her to carry around in her pockets for the next couple days and gnaw on at her leisure. My wife is a carnosaur.

Look how happy it makes her.

These guys better find a better hiding spot.

Yuula turned one on Saturday.

We threw her a party.

It was a rager.

I will show you photos.

Should be sufficient.
