Hanging with Uncle Mike

Uncle Mike came in late Sunday evening, and we had too much fun with him to have time to blog about it until after he left. Sadly, Fiona didn't even get as far as breakfast on the first day of his visit before catching a case of the pukes and missing an entire day with him, but the rest of us made hay while the sun shone even as we tended to poor Fiona. She perked up by his second day and made up for lost time.

It was great to catch up with Mike-- whether it was taking a walk, playing a board game, chatting at the kitchen table, or simply watching the girls light up as they played and laughed with him. Uncle Mike knows hilarious magic tricks that only much-beloved uncles share. Fiona is now trying to repeat them for anyone who will watch.

We wish you pleasant travels for the remainder of your time in our fair state and homeward as well, Mike. Thanks so much for coming!
