Continuing the long-delayed photos from our lunch with Max and my grandparents in the Bronx, here are a few more. Note Max's willingness to lunge out to grab at anyone, no matter their age or distinguished demeanor.

It was my grampy's 97th birthday back in April, and while we weren't able to be there on his actual birthday, we took Max down to Philly the weekend afterwards for a visit with Grampy. My cousin Tony and Jen were kind enough to host the family at their house (brave brave folks!)



not bad for 97, eh?

Jen introduced Max to his new favorite toy: the whisk! Here he is with my mom and cousin Tony, and his new best friend Whisky! (mmm whisky)



a very arch photo of my dad:


Grampy, Sharren and Charlie:

Grampy's a big fan of the lemon merengue pie


and Max and Grampy, hanging out:



(nice, kid. Deck the 97 year old)

this is why I love the porch. and the hammock. I love love love the hammock.








Max loves watching the cars drive by on the street. It's kind of hilarious to watch his little head whip back and forth to watch the traffic go by.


aw, my cute boys!


heh. someone is puzzled

Jen's dad is now handling childcare on Mondays when Jen works from home, for which we are very grateful. They are having a lot of fun together. When Max is good, he's even allowed to wear the big boy hat.

We took Max over to Jen's parents for Easter; here are some shots of the egg hunt. I seem to have focused so much on photos of Jen & Max that I forgot to, you know, take any of the eggs. But hey, that's one cute (sleepy) baby, huh? Note tiny little basket for Max next to Jen on the wall.



Jen and her brother:


I like taking candid shots, though that means I have a lot of photos with this look of Jen's, roughly translated as "what do you think you're doing?"

A couple weekends ago, my cousin Kathy and her husband & sons came up to visit. It was great to see them and we had a fun time having lunch and playing in the back yard. (For the record, Kathy makes an excellent potato salad.) Here are some photos.



Matthew tries to look tough, but reveals his inner softie:
