Jammin with Jasper

Last week, Christa invited Des and me over for lunch with her and her son, Jasper (affectionately known to Matt as Dr. J). Christa and Jasper had made some delicious hummus - heavy on the garlic - just the way I like it, and some of the most delectable mac and cheese on earth. Afterward, Jasper donned his super hero cape and performed the impressive feat of holding his new friend, Desmond. My Hero!

Speaking of visits last week, Des and I also saw the McRitchies and Knolls (Em's parents) in St Paul. It was a treat to catch up with them all, especially Gerlinde and David who were in town from Holland, MI. The visit was particularly fruitful for Des. He was introduced to Henry's and David's hilarious version of Row Row Row Your Boat and given a beautiful quilt lovingly handmade by Emily and Gerlinde. Here's Des reclining on it. Thank you, friends!
