We had beautiful weather on the weekend for the Boys Dedication and lots of family members came out to celebrate and in some cases meet them. Afterwards we had a barbecue outside where I was once again the Grill Chef and only once did I have to call for water to put out a grease fire. I didn't need those eyebrows anyways. I was told the meat tasted good so I'm going to assume they were telling the truth. Ah, my legend as the master BBQ chef continues to grow!
Meanwhile, the boys were passed around and the Dullemond family members pronounced Lukas as the definite Dullemond baby with his old-man eyes and high-and-prone-to-wrinkles forehead. I guess that makes Sean the Graves/Crouse baby. Hopefully Lukas didn't also inherit my lack of cushion on the bottom.
By the way, I've officially had my parent's declared as rich. Not only were they so generous to trade our broken down car for their van, they went and bought a brand new vehicle for Terry (a Jeep Patriot which is, if I'm not mistaken, the first ever brand-new (i.e. not-used) vehicle they have ever purchased) AND this past weekend they were having central air installed! Sure, it was a used unit and installed by Uncle Jerry, but nonetheless its a huge step up from "open windows at night and keep closed during the day" air conditioning they are used to in Greenbush for the past 25 years.
Of course, they are rich now when they have the boys to spoil. I can hear it now: "Why don't we have a Playstation 5 like Grandma does?"
Sigh.
