Happy Belated 4th to everyone. Yesterday, Drew and I drove down to Kalamazoo to spend some time with his parents and our nephew, Lucas. Lucas' mommy was working, and his daddy had a party to attend, so Papa, Babcia (Drew's parents), Uncle Drew, and Aunt Em had the little guy all to ourselves (to, ahem, spoil).

We haven't seen Mr. Lucas since March or April, so he was pretty shy with us at first. I couldn't have that, though...so, I made a fool of myself dancing around until I got him to smile, then went with Babcia and him on a walk  and oohed and aahed each time he pointed out diggers (Drew's parents are temporarily living in an apartment complex where construction is occurring; they sold their house, and this is their interim home while their new house is being built). We were buds after that.

We also celebrated Drew's birthday while we were there with a blueberry cheesecake...yum!
