Derek is Home!

We’re a little slow in getting pictures out, but Derek made it home over a month ago.  He got in at midnight, but we were happy to have him home!  (airport pictures are still on our phones.  I’ll pull those off another day).

We had some fun gatherings with family and friends.  Of course we couldn’t resist smoking some ribs for the occasion.  It was very fun to have everyone over to begin to get reacquainted with Derek.  Here are  Uncle Kent & cousin-in-law Ben in the back, Joe behind the couch, Jon, Josh, Derek, & Jeremy in front.

 

 

 

Cory, Amanda and her little ones – Sarah and Ryan.

 

 

A few little cousins: Emily, Jenny, Anna, & Grant.

Grandpa Marty with Everett and Ryan.

 

 

 

 

Lots of friends: Johanna, Jonessa, Brandon, Cory, Jon, Steven, Joe, Samantha, Jeremy, Derek & Josh.

 

Since then he has been swept up in all the comings and goings of our busy family. Jeremy had ‘wax museum’ the next day and did a report and presentation on the Wright Brothers.  Thanks to Jon’s hat, he almost looks like Orville.

Well, this is all old news, but at least it’s more current than that last post in October:).

We are very grateful for lots of fun times with our great kids!  They keep us hopping!
