Raking Leaves, Then and Now

So, you know that thing people do where they re-stage old photos years later?

Pics on left are from Nov. 4, 2009, in Bolingbrook, Illinois.

Pics on right are from today, Nov. 22, 2018, in High Ridge, Missouri.

Some things have changed.

A lot has not. :-)

We are thankful for it all.

Willard and Dad weren't there that day in 2009 (Willard wasn't even born), but here they are today.

Here's the post from 2009.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Evan coming down the slide. He was going so fast, and my camera is so slow, that I only managed to get the top of his head!

Hay ride!

Friends Evan and Evan (my Evan is on the right). The other Evan was in my Evan's preschool class a few years ago. They were Evan T. and Evan M. His parents have decided to homeschool him now, so we are looking forward to a lot of play dates and field trips!

Raking Leaves

One of our rakes broke, but Trevor the Resourceful is undeterred.

I think this is what they call a "Leaf Salutation."

The whole point of raking leaves is for 6-year-olds to play in them, no?

There's a pretty girl under there somewhere!

"What's gonna work? Team work!"

"Hey, who turned out the lights?"

"Woof! I wanna play, too!"

Friends forever.

Never let it be said that this mom makes her children do all the work.

Hmmm, what to do with these?



LEAF FIGHT!

Life is good.
