Sunday was a fun day. John's parents had a cook out with brats, potatoes, and the whole deal. Hooks actually managed to not turn all the food into hockey pucks and didn't set himself on fire - and considering he cooked a lot of it, the food was excellent!! It was just a small little cook out - John's mom and dad, his grandma, and his sister & her husband - and our baby's 1st cousins, our nephews Ebin (10) and Adler (6). I can't believe how big they are getting.
Ebin is so smart and just a fun kid to be around. He was showing us how well he is at making a big splash in the pool that was set up - I'm surprised there was any water in that thing by the end of the day! He also took some time out to listen to us adults yammer away. Hopefully he didn't get any ideas from listening to the stories of things Hooks used to do as a kid. (For those of you who don't know - Hooks is John's dad.) We are actually going to the Science Museum with him on Tuesday. He and John will be running around mesmerized by the Star Wars displays. I don't know who is more excited - him or Ebin!!
Adler is just a little sweetie. At one point Adler starting to tickle me and then said he was going to tickle the baby - well, baby must be ticklish because it actually kicked as he was doing it. He thought that was pretty cool and tickled again - and baby kicked again - which got Adler curious. He wanted to know how baby ate. So I told him everything I ate the baby got. He promptly went inside, told Nana, and came out with a bowl of fruit telling me that he wanted the baby to eat this grape, this blueberry, and this cantaloupe. It was pretty cute!
Our little boy or girl will be pretty lucky to have such cool cousins. Speaking of which, John and I should have another little niece or nephew (although pretty sure it is a niece) in about a week or so. My brother JP and his girlfriend Erin are expecting on July 1st. It's a bummer they are so far away in North Carolina, but it will be nice for Thomas/Lily to have a cousin the same age. We are getting really excited for them as we await the arrival of their little bundle of joy!
Anyway, better hit the hay - have a big day tomorrow of checking out the Millennium Falcon with the two Star Wars buffs!! Hopefully I'll be able to keep up!!!

I'm telling Tristan, he's gonna be ticked you didn't bring him too! Just think, he probably would of found a way for you to fly one of the X-wing Fighters right out of the museum.....
Triston, John, and Ebin at a Star Wars exhibit. I hope if that happens that you bring enought money for a hotel room because it will take a minimum of two days to see that.

Yeah - can you imagine? The three of them would be able to put together half the things in that place and fly home - although that might help us save on gas money :-)
