Kids… Day 849 13MAR11

The boys are doing fine up in Michigan. They have been spending their time with family and finding fun things to help pass some of the time. Marilyn's funeral is tomorrow morning and it looks like Renee and the boys will head for home later that afternoon which will put them getting home sometime late Tuesday afternoon. Jarrod had a particularly good time working on his snow fort this afternoon.

I had a wonderful afternoon with Allie and the bigger kids. Jamie arrived about three this afternoon with Allie and we had a fun time playing out in the yard and the sandbox. Allie really loves the sandbox and would probably have stayed there all day. A little later Roxie arrive followed by Brandon and Christian, Brandon is in town visiting for a few days. It was great to have all the kids together, I haven't seen Brandon and Roxie for far too long. It was a beautiful day outside and we spent the vast bulk of our time enjoying it. The kids were all hungry later so I cooked up some dinner for everyone. Allie really loves spaghetti and throughly enjoyed her portion.

She is a such a joy to have around and watch as she progresses. She is already saying a few words and has a mouth full of pretty white teeth. After dinner everyone packed up and headed for home leaving Hobie and I to each others company. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon :)
