Lovely Week

Jared surprised us on Tuesday by coming for a visit. We thought he was going to come but we weren't sure when he was going to get here. I called him on Monday and he said he would be here on Tuesday. I figured that he would start his trip on Tuesday, not so. He surprised us by getting he at two in the afternoon in instead of ten at night. What a nice surprise.

Jacob was thrilled! It is tough being the only one home. For this week at least he was not an only child. Jared teased and played football with him, watched one of his football games and did all those big brother things.  Jacob wanted him to stay until christmas. Too bad life gets in the way sometimes. Jacob didn't get very much sleep this past week. He wanted to stay up and spend time with Jared, I let him choose when to go to bed.mit became rather difficult to wake up in the mornings to go to school. One day he tried to get me to let him stay home. Nope. Wasn't going to happen.

Jared helped me around the house by trimming hedges and helping with the rental. It is really nice to have someone so very tall and strong especially since Spike has been recovering from surgery. We can't wait for another visit, hopefully for Thanksgiving.

Here he is taking a ride in Bob's Austin Healy. It was not necessarily a comfortable ride but it was pretty cool. Jacob is squished into the back seat that was built for a three year old child. They both enjoyed it very much. The car and the boys are pretty cool.
