Whelp, this is it;
Our pathetic attempt of recreating our great times with our FRIENDS...The Wiests and Thibadeaus for a "Holiday Day BBQ". In past year's we all ate at Bernie's house and had Matt's awesome "charcoal" grilled burgers, ate Kelly's beans, Ash's (non-homemade) carrot cake, Bernie's deviled eggs, Yum!... All 4 girls (including baby-cakes, aka: Zoe) ganged up on Jacob with the water guns and the water balloons from the kiddie pool that Bernie always filled and put out. Laughed with all four; Kelly & Rob, Bernie & Matt.(James says, we laughed at Matt... not with him) heehee :o) We told our "ghetto" work stories, (too funny) talked about how we named Hannah (Star Trek, Superhero). Had birthday parties together. Contemplated our diets and workouts & talked about Kempo training & the seminars coming up :o) (Las Vegas Baby!) :o)... At that time, we had no idea we would be in China. Smack~dab in the middle of Matt's "Black Belt" test.
Wow, what a difference time-travel makes.
Bernie and Matt threw the best dang Garage BBQ on the block... and now...
they have moved to far,... to even count how many states lie between us. :o(
Can you say: "Party of 4",... better than 3!
Miss you guys. Love, Jim, Ash, Jake and Hannah Banana's first "summer kick off" BBQ!
She was a wee bit nervous, she had to take the Oath.
The Judge was so sweet, and Hannah was listening and answering intently.
Our Happy Baby.
