On a scout.

This was grandfathered in in Malibu as a way to get down to the beach. Sometimes this job is pretty cool.

Madd Max Has A Last Day In Jersey

Sonia, Clara and Jess did their traditional walk to Hot Bagels Abroad.

Followed by some breakfast on the porch.

Before the bugs and paparazzi got too much.

Meanwhile, back at home, some Shake Shack was happening.

Then it was time for the project that Sonia had requested. This one was painting unicorns.

Mimi and Dozee came over with lunch.

Followed by a game of Monopoly which was as long as you think it was.

Jess' flight was delayed.  This Mimi meal with two friends made it better.

And this photo.  I mean who wouldn't miss those faces.  They're charming.

Madd Max Enjoys A Baby Shower

But first, breakfast with Dr Kerry.

Then Jersey pizza for lunch.

Sisters-in-law.

Brothers and a nephew.

All here for Tio Greg and Tia Jess' baby shower.

Mimi had all of the nieces and nephews make bibs for the new Kender.

Clara was very excited about hers being opened.

All the friends and family.

With the smallest one inside, and maybe one person very ready for them to be on the outside.

Madd Max Heads To Hoboken

Where Jess got this text from Sonia about 2 minutes after she headed out.

To see these cuties - Mateo, Lucia and Valentina.

And also her bestie, Françoise.

Even this guy, Eddie, albeit his sleeping form.

A final frozen yogurt stop with the girls, where what type of dog you would be was just one of the things that was discussed.

Madd Max Heads To NJ

Or at least Jess did.

Sunrise on the red-eye.

A family effort - untangling Jess' necklace.

Brunch with Leon.

And an exciting arrival into Bloomfield, where Sonia and Clara were waiting on the porch.

Lunch with the nieces.

And the nephew - who ordered Jess' favorite, penne vodka pizza.

Slappy Has A First Day Of High School

Current feels.

Madd Max Heads To The Pool

But first, Maddie and Jess decided to try a coffee shop for breakfast, Romancing the Bean.

Then it was over to the pool, the Findley pool.

John practiced his routines.

Madd and Seth enjoyed some adult convo.

The hummingbirds enjoyed their feeder.  Sometimes, there were 6 at one time.

And Max got some birthday presents.

Madd Max Gets Cushions

The new built-in bench is now truly functional.

Slappy Has An Audience

The cats enjoyed her constant sketching almost as much as she did.

Madd Max Does New Things

Maddie started her animation class, found by Mimi, which she loved.

Max finally got his bedroom exactly how he wanted it.

Complete with LED lighting.

That's a happy teen.

Slappy Goes Biking

In the am, while Sam and Max chilled in the room, Jess and Maddie rented bikes for the bike path by the ocean.

A stop on the pier to watch a surfing competition.

The ladies who bike.

Then it was over the Leonhardt's for dinner, and were Maddie gave Seth his birthday present - a box in a box, in a box and so on.......

That's a nice wrap up to a fun weekend.
