Peter Jesse with Grandma and Grandpa Fox. Notice he is smiling in this picture. I wish I could say he was smiling more often on this trip, but sadly, that is not the case. He's had a rough couple of days-- not sleeping very well and generally pretty fussy. Abe is being very kind to me this morning and holding him while I give my arms a rest and blog.
Also I'm watching
Bride and Prejudice-- a Bollywood version of
Pride and Prejudice. Great fun!
This is pretty much the scene. And I fear we are creating a major problem for when we get back home, because we are holding him so much here. He was already a wee bit spoiled before our trip, but we might never recover after this week.
It was very wet and muddy, but Elinor really wanted to ride the four-wheelers. Her boots got super muddy. They were getting worn out and too small anyway, so I think we'll just have to trash them before we leave.
Abe has worked a lot lately, so the kids (and me) are really enjoying time to play with Dad. I can do a lot on my own, but we need and love to have him around. Here he is on his annual "Elinor and Dad Ride" on the 4-wheeler to their special spot on the mountain.
Clark brought up his Heroscape game to get in a good game with Abe. Fortunately for Clark, Grandma and Grandpa Fox have a partially finished basement. It is slightly less dungeon-like than ours at home, but Clark has taken to it and feels quite at home.
More 4-wheeler fun!
Abe and Justin Sanders grew up together in Spokane. Justin married Emily, who I have come to love. When we first started getting together as families we each had one little boy. Now, a whole lot of kids later, we still love their company. We enjoyed dinner and great conversation at FoxHill last night.
Happy Thanksgiving!
