Suzie's an Aunt!

More importantly, Johanna and Nick are parents! Suzie and I flew to Detroit and immediately crossed the border to Windsor, Ontario to visit Johanna, Nick and Avery (born November 17th). The little guy is getting along swimmingly, and his parents, while exhausted, were doing fine too. Within moments of arriving, Suzie was holding Avery, and held him almost without pause during our entire weekend visit.

While Suzie was tending the little guy, Johanna took a welcome chance to go for a walk and get some fresh air, despite the near-zero temps. Here she is in front of her neighbor's house, which--it being December and all--looked like a yard sale for cheesy seasonal lawn decorations.

Sunday morning, I finally introduced Suzie to my closest friend, Dave, and his wife Amy. They drove down from north of Detroit just to meet us for brunch, and it was great to have the chance for them to meet Suzie (and Suzie them). It was a great trip--it was Suzie's first visit to Windsor and my second--and we look forward to doing it again very soon!
