This morn started off with J-Man and I sharing a quiet breakfast time around 0900 as BeBe, Natalie, Holly and Brady Benjamin all slept in.  Dr. Brado, of course, had been up and out at 0530 -- not that we heard him.

Soon enough everyone appeared and Holly was thrilled to report that BB had slept over 5 hours straight overnite, a feat all hoped will be repeated every night.  BB posed for some more photos with his proud granddad and endured head-petting by his siblings, all in good humour.

M and I then took the kids off for a couple hours at the Science Museum, an experience like Chuck E. Cheese on steroids and without the pizza.  It was mobbed, probably due to the heat outside, and frenetic, but both had a good time.  Jake went down a long twisting tubular slide about a dozen times.

Thn we hit McDonald's and came on home for nap time.  Dr. Brado came home noting this was the first anniversary of his first day on the job here. He has really hit his stride. And two new ex- UVa recruits he brought in also started today.

We all went out for a great Mexican meal and the seven of us really turned heads marching in and out.  It's amazing to think that when we brought Brado home at about three days, we did not take him out in public for ten days or so.  BB had his first restaurant outting on his third day.

We took an evening stroll and were introduced to the new families moving into all the new houses going up on Bronwyn Court; nice folks and lots of kids.  We also walked thru some mostly-complete houses.

We watched more 8mm home movies this eve that M had put on DVD.  Included were some great family shots on both the Allen and Bouknight sides and some great shots of worsip group planning sessions.

Great memories, and more added today.
