I’m delinquent in posting pictures from Brendan’s first dinner party. Frank and Jess made us a delicious Mexican feast of enchiladas – complete with homemade salsa and margaritas – with a chocolate moose for dessert! Although Brendan clearly wanted to try it, he stuck with his apples and a bottle. We enjoyed being at their house, and getting to introduce Brendan to their sweet Great Dane, Jinx. They always bring out the good dishes and make us feel like royalty.
Speaking of dinners, Brendan also cried at his first stranger. Rob and I were eating, and some nice ladies stopped to talk with Brendan. He was handing out his smiles, as usual – and then suddenly his face went from smile to sad – the lip came out, the mouth got square, and he started to cry. The woman felt so bad, but honestly – he was exhausted. I think he finally just decided he needed a nap right in the middle of his smile.
and just because I can, here is a video of Franklin riding the bull at our company Christmas party (see next post). He’s from Texas, so it was sort of not fair.
