Brunch, part six

We've cycled through all of the participating families so Mr. and Mrs. Smith got to be host and hostess again. The theme, fall. Mmmm...cook up some fall for brunch? That we did, my friends. Chicken pot pie, leek bread pudding, root vegetable hash with scrambled eggs and parsley pesto, pumpkin muffins, and pastries from a local bakery. And to drink, the breakfast standards - coffee, orange juice, and Henry's personal favorite, chocolate milk. All was delicious and many of us, um, went for seconds. Try not to judge, it's brunch. It's meant to take the place of two meals. This time the toddlers took full advantage of Miss Avery's downstairs play area, which we realized when various screams of delight were heard upstairs (the children were, in fact, jumping off the bed onto a pile of large pillows). Babies Nolan and Emmett were equally charming and delightful. Emmett is now crawling, albeit rather slowly, and Nolan likes to jump and jump, jump, jump and jump. Did I mention jumping? When brunch was over, Amber and I headed outside with the Smiths and Gorsegnors for some photo fun. These folks are photogenic and the kids were very patient as we worked to adjust the various settings.

Here are just a few of the pictures...

This brunch replaces a minimum of two meals. Minimum.

Wow. Everything looked so yummy! And love the family shots. You've got a great eye - did you do much fiddling with these after taken? They look great!

Yes, did you do much fiddling? Just wondering.

Fantastic pictures yet again!
