Max and Me have been very busy. Very. Here is a recap:
David has fallen in love with the banjo. Luckily, it seems like Ruby likes banjo music.
Grammy Janet helped David make muffins. They were tasty!
In addition to his outdoor banjo concerts, David has been giving indoor guitar concerts from his firetruck stage. They are well attended.
But, again, Grammy steers him toward quieter pursuits.
On Friday, Grammy took David on a big adventure to the Nisqually Wildlife Preserve. Max and Me protested, knowing that they discriminate against poodles there, but to no avail.
David saw tiny frogs on leaves. Max and Me thought that frog looked yummy. Maybe it's a good thing they don't allow dogs...
After seeing the frogs, they walked out on the water and saw birds, like this Heron.
Here they are, at the very end of the boardwalk over the tideflats.
After we all said goodbye to Grammy Janet, Patty and Denise came for a visit. They knew we'd be sad that Grammy left. Ruby thought Denise was pretty nice.
And the next day, our friend Risa came and brought David an early birthday cake. Max and Me were real jealous!
It was purple inside - David's favorite!
After he ate a huge piece, Risa made him rock her on the hammock. Seemed fair.
Today, Michele and Kristin took David to the beach. They threw lots of rocks, and then David found this big stick.
After the beach, they went shopping. And came home with this:
Max and Me have no comment. We just hope it works.
Then they went outside and played some baseball. 
And soccer.
After dinner, they read stories.
David did not want to leave Uncle Jack to go to bed...
a cake... 
and presents!
But if you ask David what the best part was, he'll tell you it was all the people that came. Max and Me think he sure is lucky to have so many wonderful friends.
