I know this blog is about Brynnlee, but this post is just for sharing what the grown-ups do when the wee-ones go to sleep! :) Today is my birthday, but on Friday (to ensure my great surprise...b/c I cannot be surprised... such is life when you are nosey!) Eric and I were chatting around the kitchen table after he arrived home from work when there was a BANG BANG BANG on the door. When I aswered it, Chuck and Kerri came spilling in with a large bag and a cooler - all too cook us dinner! It was a joyful evening and I was touched by their kindness and generosity. Here is a picture of us enjoying dessert after Brynnlee went to sleep. Chuck whipped up a fabulous strawberry mouse to put on top of a shortcake. It was tasty. Thank you sweet Chuck and Kerri!

ps

The reason I found this event especially touching (and it chokes me up a bit to explain!) is that Chuck and Kerri don't have any kids but completely respect and understand how hard it is to 'go out' with a baby - and that it is easier and more enjoyable for this mommy to spend the night 'in' with good friends. God bless them! xoxo

On Friday Brynnlee and I had the pleasure of visiting with Mrs. Barbara Sewall in Coronado, CA. I am including a picture from our adventure for you to see! (Charlie, I hope this reminds you of what Brynnlee looks like... I understand your concern that if I do not learn how to upload the photos correctly you will forget... I'm on it, brother!..... BROTHER!!!) I called Mrs. Sewall on Thursday when I found out we would be driving Ryan W. to the airport. She was sweet to make time for us on such short notice! We arrived at her beautiful home after 11am and enjoyed a wonderful lunch, good company and the beautiful view. Mrs. Sewall told Brynnlee to makes sure she brings her swimsuit next time! I look forward to another visit soon - and hope Eric can accompany us! :)

I am trying to catch up with the weekend b/c we were sans internet part of the time, so I will post more about our weekend next! xoxo, Jennie
