Family Time

Easter weekend was family time. On Saturday, Carol and Bill came with the children for lunch. While Carol and I made chicken and pork enchiladas, Zander enjoyed some milk from his cowboy cup.

Later, he had a man-to-man talk with Poppy.

After lunch, everyone went home except Pippi, who stayed for a sleep-over. Perfect weather lured us outdoors, where Pippi gathered the eggs and then created a little house for a tiny dinosaur. Here, he relaxes on his porch.

Back inside, we made new star-shaped colors from a collection of old Crayola stubbs.

Pippi left early the next morning to attend church.  Dennis and I drove to Centralia to visit his mother, Rose Evelyn. Brother Gary was there when we arrived, providing a photo op. Rose Evelyn will be 93 in May.

Life seems quite long when we consider that these family members span nine decades and four generations. Together the generations form a rich texture that gives life meaning. Sadly, we will have to wait a long time for the fifth generation to appear. How I would love to meet them when they arrive!
