Mini-Reunion

Jeff and Johanna, my brother and sister, have been staying with us for several days. My dad and his wife have also been nearby, staying at my granddad's house. Sadly, everyone is leaving today. Pictures, anyone?

More stuffed animals - another Xander request

There he is!

Nick in his pretty-much-outgrown raincoat

He loves the rain.

Uncle Jeff and Xander, looking at all the figures Xander has drawn and cut out of paper

Uncle Jeff is impressed

There they are!

Every time Xander likes an arrangement, he wants a picture of it

Amazing idea! Playing in the tents...

...with a flashlight

I believe Nick took this picture, his first ever!

Or maybe it was this one - or both

Guess who wanted this picture!

Yes, him!

Awwww, bedtime

We had to skip nap time to go to Granddad's and Janet's house, but he found a way.

Around their place

Pretty flowers

His creation at their house

I was supposed to take a picture of every side so he could cut them out and put them together to make it 3-D

Ah, finally, the other people who have been visiting - Xander took this photo, and considering he got Nick in it, I give him an A.

Shreves

Watching Voyage of the Dawn Treader together

Other things we did together: Met Dad and Lesley downtown near the State Capitol to eat lunch at a nice locally-sourced-food place that also offered live music, watched episodes of Sherlock together, shopped and ate on Congress where the food trailers are, made it through varying degrees of sickness, baked amazing cinnamon rolls with my new bread machine found at Goodwill, and ran to Xander's school to "pick him up."
