Cousin Mike

Saturday afternoon I get a phone call from Mike, freshman in college. He and 4 guys are on spring break and taking a road trip. Long story short, we met for supper last night and they spent the night here (at our insistence after we found out they were "Wal-Mart-ing it" - you can figure that one out). We had a good time getting to know them and watched the new Harry Potter movie. They left this morning to go visit some more monuments and museums and then head west to go camping in the mountains for a few days. I hope it doesn't snow on them!

It has been almost a year since we saw Mike at grandma's birthday party last April. It was good to catch up. Really nice bunch of guys with him, too. They had fun playing with Luke.



Luke doesn't sit still as well as he did last time Mike held him!



Funny story: When the guys got here yesterday I was in the kitchen getting them some water and I heard them laughing. I went back into the living room and Luke was on Mike's lap. He had picked up Luke and held him like an infant (cradled) and the guys asked him what he was doing (Luke was squirming since he doesn't like being held like that anymore). Mike replied, "Supporting his neck! Babies' heads are floppy!"

Here they are when Luke's head was still "floppy."
