Family BBQ August 2010

We went up to my brother's place on Sunday for a family BBQ arranged to meet my newest grand-niece, Charlotte, born in May. It rained but we still had a great time and here are the photos I promised.

Slice of life

J had to have 2 teeth pulled yesterday to give room for his braces to move teeth around in his crowded mouth. He will have to have 2 more removed in 2 weeks time. He did surprisingly well. This is the kid who works himself into such a state over a simple flu shot that he literally makes himself sick. After the last needle he had to get, once we left the clinic to catch the bus home, he laid full out on the sidewalk and stated that he had to rest & calm down...in February!

Anyhow, the teeth removal went fine, I think I had more worry than he did. He took Advil when he got home and before bed but this morning he was fine, no pain or anything.

We have our yearly family get-together up at my brother's place coming up on Sunday. The weather is supposed to be good. I'll post pictures after the event.

Oh and remember the CSN review I'm going to be doing? I chose an item and it was delivered yesterday. I will write a review in a couple weeks once I have used all the features.

I bought this Delonghi Convection Toaster Oven with Rotisserie  (I put additonal money towards the gift certificate).

Annual Family BBQ

This year our family BBQ was held at my 2nd oldest brother's new home - they built it themselves.

It was a decent day until the rain came just as we were eating, but it still turned out to be a good time.

For the record, I have 2 sisters and 3 brothers - all older than me - I am the baby :)

In order is it Oldest brother, 2nd oldest brother, oldest sister, 2nd oldest sister, 3rd oldest brother and then me :)
