Eli really enjoyed playing with his cousin. He loves "babies" right now, and as far as he was concerned, she counted as a baby still!
Here they are enjoying a pear together from one of Gramper's trees. My sister and parents live next door to one another, Eli wanted to pick one up every time we walked back and forth from one house to the other.
The boys were thrilled when Gramper got his old John Deere tractor out to move the chicken coop!
They were even more thrilled when they got to "drive" the Johnny Popper!
Joseph wanted to get in on the action. He'll probably be driving it before long!
We had a cool visit and had a cool dip in the pool one afternoon.
This was the first years Josiah was not afraid of the water. He swam around with his Puddle-Jumper. He conquered his fear of water the previous week at Greenwood Hills. Eli on the other hand, has no fear of water. We have to watch him closely!
Jake celebrated 29 years with a DQ cake.
Josiah's biggest highlight was getting to go with Grammer to get an early Christmas present. Since we would not be coming this year for Christmas, she took him to make a Build-a-Bear.
He chose a Spinosaurus whom he named James, and he picked out a soccer jersey for it.
Here are Rebekah's kids--really growiing up!
Among other things, we got to visit Michelle and Ben and see their new house! My sister and I also took on a fun project of painting peg dolls (pictures to come)--fun!
