Playtime

Byron and I escaped this afternoon to meet up with some friends for lunch.

Kyle and Amy Benson live a few hours away and have a little girl

who is about six months younger than Kean.

And like Kean, she was blessed with that extra chromosome

and cursed with cancer.

 We met at Tucanos Brazilian Steakhouse for the yummiest lunch we've had in a long time.

That meat is incredible!

Last night, we also went out-- for the most relaxing

and loveliest evening on the lake.

 Oh, and side splitting, heavy duty belly laughs--

'cause look who we were with-- our dear friends, Calene and Mark

Borup and Marc and Monique Warner.  

 I was a wuss and didn't even try... but Byron got 

up skiing...

 and criss crossed the lake-- which we almost had to ourselves.

Boy, did we both need those breaks!
