This is a splendid array of beers if I do say so myself.

This might have to be my first post-baby boozefest.

And maybe the baby’s first boozefest?

If the Catrows bring Jackson and Karen and I bring baby Jasper, it would turn into a whole nuther kinda fest altogether. Sounds like some baby-sitters will be getting some business.

I heard Ipanema has been taken over by Frat boys. Is this true??? It makes me sad….

That’s weird, because I heard the same thing about your mom.

Sassy – okay look we invited Jack in once but I’m pretty sure that’s the only time he was there.

This sounds amazing! You guys should do this sort of thing more often. I am also recently “Post-Baby”, but what a fun sounding First Booze Post Baby Dinner. How do you find out if you guys have filled up? Not that I can even afford this, but maybe someone will see my plea for a fun night out…
