As fatherhood quickly approaches Neil looks like a man in a nursing home
Happy Birthday Clave!
Banjo's new home
Rachel going strong into the final stretch
Weird green manWe didn't do anything too crazy for Solstice this year. On Saturday our friend Rachel was running the the mayor's marathon. The course happened to finish right near our house, so Neil, Banjo and I walked over to the park to get a glimpse of her wizzing by. It was pretty fun. People were a little past mile #24 where we were and tired. We cheered them on, including this strange guy in a giant green unitard. Even his face was completely covered in the green cloth, which was soaked. I'm not really sure how he was able to see, but he managed to stay on the path alright.
Later on Saturday we went out shopping for a new kennel for Banjo. Meghan, the old roommate, got word that we were looking for a new place to live so she wanted her kennel back. I guess she was afraid that we'd skip town without it, because she called all of our phones within 12 hours of us telling the landlords. The new one we got for him is quite a bit large. Now I can lock both boys into it at once.
On Sunday Neil celebrated his first father's day (I guess last year being Banjo's dad didn't count). I made some blueberry pancakes, and he got a book from the peanut: 500 Places to Tae Your Kids Before they Grow Up. Later in the day we had some friends over for a solstice bbq. It was pretty fun. We grilled up some chicken, and others brought hot dogs, salmon and shrimp. Lot's of tasty food! Neil and I stayed up till around 11:30 and it was still quite light out!

It sounds like you guys had a fun barbecue! Unfortunately, after all of our hot days over the last few weeks, this week has been pretty grey and cool. In fact, the "longest day of the year" certainly didn't feel that way, because it was one of the dimmest days we'd had in a long time!
