For starters, the weather was amazing. Sunshine, breezes, mild temps. Spring. Le sigh.

Devin and I drove down to my mom’s in Kalamazoo to hang out for a couple of days. We spent a lot of time outside, of course, including a trip to the Portage Creek Bicentennial Park, where Devin biked along while my mom and I got in some exercise and conversation.

The next day we visited with Kevin and his lovely daughter, Chloe. Lunch at Food Dance (which I can never resist) followed by an impromptu visit to the Kalamazoo Valley Museum. The kids had a blast together. They ran everywhere. I swear I got exhausted just watching them.

Dev fell asleep in the car on our ride home last night, so Scott settled him into his bed and we grabbed some wine and sat on the deck for the first time this year. Total bliss.

Today the kid got in two bike rides, I made it to the gym, and we went to a birthday party at the GR Children’s Museum. Whew! So much busyness that the guys were both in bed by 8:00. That means I get the TV to myself. So off I go!
