Our good friends Brent and Michelle were due to have their baby on September 20th, but their son Grant had other plans. Tadd and I were going to throw them a co-ed baby shower BBQ on August 11th but Grant was born 7 weeks early on July 31st. We were going to postpone till a later date but Brent and Michelle said they were up for it. Grant unfortunately couldn’t make it as he is wooing all the ladies in the NICU for the next couple of weeks.
It turned out really nice. The weather was perfect and there wasn’t much ash in the air from the Zaca Fire as there had been previously. It was a pleasant low key, enjoyable affair with friends and family

Brent and Michelle are both scientists, I found this onesie with the molecular structure for glucose ( www.madewithmolecules.com ) that I thought they would appreciate.
It says ‘SWEET’. A little lab humor.
It may be hard to tell but Tadd is wearing a Junior Firefighter Badge on his shirt. He made good friends with the fireman who were taking a break from the Zaca Fire, after we realized we had brought everything except matches to start the BBQ. We looked in the car and I was wondering if you could start a BBQ with the Honda’s cigarette lighter when I told Tadd to ask the firemen for a match. They were more than pleased to oblige, they even offered a torch. I’m surprised Tadd turned them down, They were all very cool and hung out and talked why we finshed setting up. They came to the rescue again when we they saw how long it was taking us to pound the horseshoe stakes in with a little hammer. They came over with a 4′ sledgehammer. I think they were just showing off at that point.
