Entertaining

I have not mastered the multitasking art of entertaining/cooking/taking care of a baby. My old friends Amy (and her family) & Katie recently came through town. They happened to be here on the same day, so we had everyone over for dinner. By chance, Kendall was also arriving back from Europe that evening, along with her friend Jesse. I had not managed to do any shopping or prepare anything the day before, but I was pretty sure we could barbeque and everything would turn out fine. Unfortunately, we had massive thunderstorms. Not the usual 5 minute summer afternoon ones, but dumping, pouring, crashing thunderstorms. We tried to grill from inside through the patio doors as the rain pelted down. We got soaked and served raw chicken. The power kept flashing, which turned the oven off, and we ended up with a pan of batter instead of bread. The watermelon and ice cream were the only edible parts of the meal. Next time we’ll order pizza.

Despite all that, it was still so great to see Katie and Amy and her family. Here's Logan with Katie:


And Amy:

In all the chaos I didn't manage to get a picture of Daniel, David, or Sarah. They're talking about moving here, so hopefully there will be many more opportunities.
