First Day of School

It is about 55 degrees, but it is thankfully NOT raining! Here are a few pics of the kids as they gear up for the first day at school. Joe is now a big kid in year 2 and Anastasia is starting real school in reception. She goes half day til just after the new year. She was fine going in started playing on the computer. She did not cry and looked like she was having fun. Joe saw his friends and I think he made it in as he was chatting and did not say bye!

Ahh the life!

Here is one final pic that shows how "Gentlemen" farm. Please notice that Anastasia is driving the golf cart while Joe is lounging on the cow feed and Uncle Jon is simply along for the ride.

End of our visit

We enjoyed our visit with the entire family and hated to leave. Here are a few pics of Mawmaw and the kids. Look forward to seeing you all soon. (Especially since it is 55 and raining!)

Hanging out with Mawmaw

Mawmaw made some great home cooked meals. The kids had fun riding bikes, assembling puzzles and chatting up a storm. Notice that Ana started to take a few self photos, too.

Tractor rides

Uncle Jon took the kids for tractor rides. Joe thought it was awesome. The jury is still out for Anastasia.

Gentleman Farmer

The kids practiced driving the golf cart, fished for Brim and were chased by cows. Evidently, one cow took a dislike to Joe and charged him. Jon fended him off and all was well. Each time Joe relates this, it becomes a grander tale!

Uncle Jon's farm

We had a great time visiting with Mawmaw, Uncle Tim, Aunt Marg, Uncle Jon, Aunt Pam, Kyle, Stormy, Craig, Erika, Adam, Katrina, and Andrea. It was nice to relax and visit. We picked Jon's beans and okra, fed the cows and went fisihing. The kids did not want to leave.
