The crowd was LOVIN' it.
Why do I love this party so?

For folks who are interested, here's a link to a small album from our trip to Detroit.
Highlights include: Russian dinner-dancing spot, Perchikovsky-Filanovsky Memorial Day barbecue, Coney Island hot dogs in downtown Detroit, and a visit to some of ilya's nearest and dearest friends.
Happy weekend all.
On Saturday night we went to Beverly Hills (no shit), Michigan, to visit ilya's great friends Lauren and Jon, and their son Noah, who told me emphatically in the driveway that he was "three and a half!" and "goes to Temple Bethel!" and that his "Nana!" was "up north!" and that "she was coming back this weekend!" (It took me a little while to realize that "up north" is the Michigan way of saying "to the country," or "out to the Island.")
I love that excited way in which kids declare everything; there's nothing mundane in the life of an almost-four-year-old. For pictures and a window into the life of Jon and Lauren, click here for their hilariously named blog, How Bourgeois.
But neither is it mundane in the life of a mom! Lauren purchased this bike a few weeks ago, and told us that, riding it around the suburbs of Detroit, she'd been asked if she were the "Chucky Cheese lady." amazing.
