Now that we are home – after interrupting my regular posting to show you the wedding pictures – I will go back to when Jere and Kristen’s three youngest boys were with us for two weeks.I went to their house each school evening to get the boys. Since they live only a mile away – and there are chickens to take care of, it is simpler than getting the bus driver to stop at our house. Jesse gets home about an hour earlier than Ian and Jared.

I was at the house early one day so Jesse could begin taking care of the chickens. This one and the next were taken with my cell phone.

Ian and Jared running toward us.

They made a welcome home banner for their parents before going home on Saturday, November 5.

This tree – in our yard – was especially pretty this year.
