Hello and Goodbye

We took another feels-too-short-but-is-really-just-long-enough trip to Alabama. We said HELLO to our new baby nephew/cousin, Bruce:


- and GOODBYE to Mom/Grandy since this was the last time we'd see her before she & Dad leave for their mission.


My boys were happy to give Bruce attention, but I think Anndra couldn't figure out what the big deal was. She'd point to him and say "baby" - but she wasn't very interested. At least the boys bonded:






We attended church with Jess & fam - and it happened to be the Sunday of their primary program. It was fun to see Jane and Maren do their parts.



More happy smiles and other silliness:





Sunday evening we took the kids on a nature walk and they loved collecting leaves, pine-cones, sticks, etc. in their little bags:





It was beautiful weather, so we ALL went (even Bruce):


Parker was really good about showing the camera his treasures:



The other kids were too busy running from one thing to the next and seeing whose bag was fullest:


This next pic is funny because Jessie stopped all the kids to point out a big fire-ant nest and warn them to watch for these and not step on them. Then about two seconds after I took this shot Anndra walked right into it!


We tried to get a picture of the kids on a merry-go-round we passed, but it kept turning even when no one was pushing it... so it didn't turn out very well:


Cute pic of Anndra (too bad the road is in the background):


Right before we left, we lined the kids up and had them hold signs for their ages because we thought it was fun that right now we have a kid for each digit from zero to five:
