Reverse-generational influence.....

I guess there is a time when as a parent, you cross the line of influencing your kids and when your kids are influencing you more. I am probably there. Cory has brought me humus and a small window to current culture. Nathan, among other things, has brought me to the world of electronic convenience, as the pictures will show. I built this charging center because I knew it would be something that Nathan would do. While it doesn't work in my truck or light up or screen out computerized calls......it really is pretty cool. I have dedicated it to the oldest son with no slight to the younger, I'm planning a house built out of humus jars. I hope I made you proud.

Cory and Annie brought the neatest gift boxes from NYC!

Clayton, quit tickling Darlene!

Lois, ready for fun with Cory and Annie.

Lyle's new graphie pine cone pencil...How amazing!



Bruce and Bacome girls...plus Nappy.

Our alien children are looking more alike all the time! Fun, Fun, Fun!
More to come!

Cory & Annie Home for Christmas!

Cory and Annie are home for Christmas from New York City. Mallory picked them up in Fresno and brought them home to us on Thursday night. Dottie is very excited to see her long lost buddies.
The kids are posin' now by the warm fire, but they will be out and about. Catching up with family and friends....and doing a movie project while here. (I am always amazed how much these two can get done in such a little time.)
One last "Cheese" before Mallory has to head out. Welcome home kids!
