Bruderer BBQ

Sadly, Amber and Kara left us for the summer to be in Austin with Clark, Linda and the boys. So we had a farewell BBQ at our house to say goodbye for a little while. We grilled up some delicious chicken and steak, and had chips, salad and lemonade. The weather was nice so the festivities took place on our deck. After dinner we made chocolate chip cookies and had ice cream cookie sandwiches. Yum. It will be so strange not to have them close. We will miss you guys! (Note how Ben is snuggled into Amber in the last picture. That is classic Ben. We are always worried he can't breathe, but no matter what we do he always maneuvers himself back into this position.)
