Duke becomes one of the family - chug! chug! chug!

There are several moments you go back to year after year in recollecting your childhood.... Duke will remember this one... His first Friday night playing quarters; of course he's still not too good at bouncing so he had to do a lot of drinking. We started him out on ginger ale but by 10:45 we moved him onto Seagrams Lime flavored gin and tonic. Here he is chugging about 3 ounces of one of our local microbrews at the hands of Emma, my 11 yr old.

Well actually, its cranberry juice and no, we don't teach him to play quarters - yet.
In between the soccer, baseball, cross country running, piano, saxophone, flute, and having friends over - my kids always find time to play with "little Dukey". He's finally found his voice and like to tell the neighbors about it.
School's almost out here - kids are ready to play hard. Then three days later, we start hearing "I'm Bored!"
