Grandma Connie, so happy you are here!

 Grandma  flew  on from  the  East  yesterday  and  already  the  kids  have  played  several  chess  matches,  created  many  words  in  scrabble,  baked  cookies,  read  stories,  cuddles,  fencing  with  wrapping  paper rolls and  the  boys  own  cheerleader at  recess  today!  wow,  so  mmuch  fun  and  good  times !

Family comes to town!

  The  boys  love  their  uncle  Grant and  are so  excited  when  he  shows  up,  especially  with a  big  rig!

 John  also  met  his  Dear  Aunt  Evelyn  who  is a  blooming 96  and a half!  Evelyn  was  delighted  to  see  John  and  have  him  the  sweetest  hugs!  What a  blessing  to  have  such a  loving    and caring  woman  in  our  lives.  She  is  able  to  take  care  of  herself  completely  on  her  own,  keeps  her  house  and  hard  immaculate  and  reads  constantly.  She is  so  sweet  an caring  and  positive.

My Jack-o-latern!

Sweet Amelie!

 First  snow  of  the  year! These  two  boys  are  best  buddies,  they  go  nearly  everywhere  together.  always  have  each  other's  backs. I watch  they  run  to  school  every  morning  and  if  one  falls  behind  the  other  stops  to  wait.  never  leave a  man  behind. Of course  they  have  their  moments  of  frustration  with  each  other,  but  they  don't  last  long.
 they  make  me  smile  everyday.  Awesome  helpers, not  only  do  their  own  laundry ( truth  be  told  Jack  carries  his  team  mate  on  that  one)  and  just  today  Jack  saw  the  trash  was  full  and  took  it  out,  no  prompting  he  just  did it,  what a  man!  Kenny  the  other  morning  was  making  him  self  breakfast ( which they  do  every  morning  since John  arrived)  and  Kenny   seeing me  with a  crying  baby  a nd  one  eye  open  asked  if I  would  like  some  toast  too.  so  my   little  six  year  old  butters  the  toast  and  brings  it  to  me  while I  was  feeding  the  baby!  These  boys  are  truly  awesome! I  know  they  have  learned  so  many  life  lessons  by  watching  their Dad!

Boys at one and two!
