Our week's voyage to New Jersey has come to a close and I have now returned to DC, en route to North Carolina to begin work next week. The report on Mike's family is that they love me and I love them! Very convenient. Mike's mom is very sweet and keeps saying that I'm a "keeper." Mike's nephew is adorable, even though he cries a lot because he's teething, but "Hush My Dear" always helped calm him down. Mike's cousins Bianca and Gianna are 15 and 12 and remind me a lot of me and Katharine at that age. We talked about American Girl dolls :) Mike also has an Uncle Sal who is quite a character - pushing 90 and still loves to talk about his days bombing Germany in WWII. He says he'd marry me himself if he was younger!
Mike's friends are also a lot of fun. We had a really nice time hanging out by Lake Hopatcong. The night before July 4th the town sets off fireworks and we all sat on the shore at the state park, enjoying the fireworks and playing with Mike's friend's 2 year old (she likes to blow kisses and give hugs!).
Here are a few pics of me and Mike with his nephew, Sean. Mike says he had a great time at the reunion and hello to you all!
