Today in Our House

 

Ian wasn’t ready for Jana to leave for school when she walked out the door this morning.  He begged her to stay home and play with him.

 

After some sweet-talking, by reminding him that she would soon be home again, and that he will be going to school next year, she brought a smile back to his face.

 

It was a beautiful morning, with a light mist over the valley…

 

…and a glorious sunrise.

 

Jared missed that, however.  He woke up with the rest, but just wasn’t ready to be out of bed, so brought his pillow and blanket to the living room floor, where he slept until 9:30!

The rest of the day was fairly routine ~ according to the past few days ~ and I was able to get some office work done on my laptop while the boys played.

And as Jana promised, she was soon home again, a bit later than usual because she had a class in Russian after school.

 

The name at the top is Jana in Russian.

 

She wasn’t home very long before she wanted to bake cookies.  In this picture she is reading the directions on the box of preshaped cookies.

 

A hint to grandmas who don’t like to bake, and have grandchildren who do.  Keep frozen cookie dough on hand. 

 

We had delicious, still warm, Monster cookies for supper.

 

When the cookies were finished, she proceeded to make this design with dominoes.

 

A beautiful sunset on a very warm, winter day.

 Tonight when the boys got out of the bathtub to be dried and dressed in pj’s, I lost a child! 

 

I dried Ian, then Jared, then proceeded to help Ian get dressed in his pajamas.  When I turned around to help Jared, he was gone! 

All that was left was a pile of towels. 

 

Oh, there he is!
