There Are Now Only Three Grandchildren Here

Five Have Gone Home and Two Are at Aunt Deb’s

 

After church we met Roy and Deb at Pizza Hut for lunch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Josh and Jana liked traveling to Aunt Deb’s in Roy’s ’71 Camaro.

 

 

 Jesse in the driver’s seat

 

 

 Meanwhile, back at the house Jesse liked trying on Hezekiah’s hat.

 

 

 It was finally warm enough to get the under-the-tree-dirt-toys out of the attic.  Hezekiah is the grown-up under the tree.

 

 

 This sandy soil makes a natural sandbox.

 

 

 Abigail and Josiah stopped in during the midafternoon to pick up Hezekiah.  This is probably the last time we will see Josiah before he heads to the midwest to join a harvest crew. 

 

 

 Their friend Quentin was also along on this quick trip to Pennsylvania.

 

 

Beginning their long drive (about ten hours) back to Maine.

 

 

 The little boys wanted cookies and needed something to do.

 

  

 I usually keep a pack or two of these preshaped cookies on hand when I know grandchildren are coming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are Easter cookies.

 

 

 

 Bunnies and chicks.

 

 

 When they noticed this box – which I had used to store the dirt toys – Jared said, “Let’s make a boat.”  Jesse loved being the passenger…

 

 

…especially when they bumped up and down this step.
