A Champagne Celebration for Jack

On Friday evening (April's Fool Day) Joel and Cathy decided to have a little celebratory get-together for Jack. As Caroline was visiting them at that time, they thought it would be a good time to have it. Their Aussie friends, Kate and Crusty, were there with their two little children and we were able to meet them after having heard so much about them.

Jack was dressed in his new 'suit' and looked, as Joel says, ruggedly handsome! Cathy says 'sweet', I say 'cute', Tony says 'magnificent young male'.

Tony held him (like he was holding a platter of some kind) and the smiles kept coming (from both of them) as Tony told Jack about how he would take him to a pub as soon as he could walk and how they would do the Two Oceans Cycle Race together when he turned five and how he would show him all the 'beach babes' when he got to twelve. No wonder he was smiling!

Yeah...I'd love to do that!

What Tony's telling him now I couldn't hear, but from Jack's face, probably more promises of great things to come.

Cathy was happy to have her friends around and have a bit of her 'old self' time, with laughter, champagne, snacks, music and general 'chilling' together. It was lovely and the snacks, prepared by Joel, were just heavenly.

No champagne for Jack yet, it's bottles and breasts for him.

While Jack's celebration was under way he slept peacefully amid the noise, unperturbed and undisturbed.

Mama Cat.

As I said before, the snacks were really, really delicious!

And Tony had lots of beer!

And the Moms did what Moms do!

And three generations.
