School & Helping Grandpa

September 9 to 12

 

 

I had the privilege of taking Jesse to his  first full day of preschool at Manheim Brethren in Christ Church.

 

 

Going into the church with one of his teachers.

 

 

One afternoon Cerwin asked Ian and Jared to help him pick up sticks. There were a lot of small branches and sticks in our yard from Saturday evening’s (September 9) wind and rain.

 

 

They were great helpers.

Hey guys, remind Grandpa that he forgot to pay you!

 

 

When they noticed all the shellbarks and acorns, they decided to gather some for Roy and Debbie’s squirrels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ian gathered the shellbarks.

 

 

Jared gathered acorns.

 

 

While gathering acorns, he found this grasshopper.

 

 

Jared is the “bug person” in the family.

 

 

When it jumped from his arm, he just watched it crawl up his shirt.

 

 

He didn’t even mind when it crawled up the back of his neck and into his hair.

 

 

One morning a school bus broke down in front of our house. It wasn’t one that Jana, Ian, or Jared rode. I don’t think there were any children on it yet, but I expect it took a quick change of plans to get another bus for this route.

We had a great time having Jere and Kristen’s children – Josh, Jana, Ian, Jared, and Jesse – here for several days.
