Father's Weekend

Good weekend with family. On Saturday afternoon, we took Trish's dad and mom out to see the Incredible Hulk and then out to lunch. (By the by, Hulk is a good, fun popcorn flick with a couple of great bad guy performances from Tim Roth and Tim Blake Nelson.) Always nice to get time with just the four of us. Plus Trish's dad loves movies and, like me, will get all little kid excited over a good super hero flick. So during lunch we geeked out over some of the best moments in the movie and then somehow switched to quoting Mel Brooks' lines at each other. Good times.

Sunday night was dinner with my family. Brother Tom and Kathryn hosted a backyard barbecue on a perfect day. Joined by Tom's mother-in-law Sung-Ju and Katie's mother-in-law Jerri. Lots of vying for time with Leo, and with both grandmothers there, you had to be pretty aggressive to get any time in with him at all. Sitting down with that extended family really brought home how the ranks of the Heinrich family have swelled over the past 4 years. Long way removed from the five of us sitting down together then getting a phone call from Mike in Portland. And you can see plain as day how much Dad loves it. Good times all around.
