Happily, being in Ann Arbor meant we saw Uncle Paul a titch more often than typical. Not only did he and his friend Sam tag-in on babysitting duty prior to running an Ann Arbor half marathon, he joined us for jaunt downtown and a post-race nosh at what became our favorite Sunday spot, The Jolly Pumpkin. (Before carrying on Campaign Manager duties for State Senate canidate Ryan Fishman.)
"Hey Maizey, want a free mattress?"
Brothers and sisters.
He even pushed UP the hill post-13.1 miles.
Lucy took a turn in a big girl high chair.
And spent most of the meal oggling her sis.
Even during a serious post-water-spill Will lecture.
Paul to the rescue lightened the mood.
He even indulged her "RUN! It's a BEAR!" obsession...
While Dad watched. And Mom captured.
