This past weekend, Janelle and Aaron helped us host a get-together for a bunch of other Blackstone fellows who live in the area. After a few years, Janelle and I have our menu down pat–I do big crockpots of Mexican main dishes, she buys the Costco stuff (chips, guac, tortillas, cheese, etc) and dessert. Feeding 35 people? Easy peasy! As usual, Janie and Judah were joined at the hip pretty much all night long. Janelle says they’re such good friends because firstborn Judah is bossy and youngest Janie is used to being bossed. I just think their temperaments are a perfect mesh. And also as usual, Elizabeth mothered Ari, and Ari loved the attention from a big girl!
