When I left Jeff's last night, these kids were right here playing Magic. This morning when I walked in the door, I saw the same kids in the same places. I asked no questions. |

Late last night I received a video of Jonathan walking. I was very excited. |
![]() |
This morning Papa showed the short video to Joseph, who was extremely interested in the video. Alas, he has no interest in walking. |

In the meantime. Julia tended Joseph. |

In the meantime, chefs were cooking up a feast in the kitchen. |

An hour later I walked by the racks. Same birds, same fan, new position. I actually asked no questions at all. |

On occasion others borrow my camera. When I unloaded the memory stick I saw a set of pictures of three young men making an apple pie. Luke peeled the apples. |
![]() |
Kyle made the pastry. |
![]() |
What I know now that no one knew at the time was that this particular pie would turn out to be delicious. |
![]() |
With the bottom crust made, Kyle cut strips for a lattice top. |
![]() |
Jacob mixed the filling. |
![]() |
I have never successfully made a lattice top for a pie. I was very impressed. |
![]() |
Before the pie went into the oven, I spied this. I was extremely impressed. |
![]() |
While the pies baked, three adults followed 8 kids to a nearby playground. |
![]() |
My walking companion was Jane, who doesn't seem to have appeared in any of today's pictures. |
![]() |
The day was cloudy and cool. We had a lovely time. |

Jacob had to ask me what the name of this particular piece of equipment was. I think he was testing me. I told him what teeter totters were like when I was a kid. It was the dark ages. |
![]() |
Luke ran by. I asked him to pose. He gave me 3 seconds. |
![]() |
Bradley had a great time at the playground. |
![]() |
All of us were under the watchful eyes of these two supervisors. |
![]() |
Back at the ranch, these three helped me put together a fun puzzle. I have several more. Maybe we'll get to them tomorrow. |
![]() |
Ben is not a big fan of puzzles. He does like the cousins' toys. |

Kyle and Nate started up a round of Magic. Luke and Bradley had not yet been instructed on the finer points of the game. This is one of the reasons Steve is so popular in our family. |
![]() |
I had been sitting at the table with them working on these pictures. I love it when kids play together, occasionally having to engage their brains. |
![]() |
When I became aware that I could be of assistance in the kitchen, my camera and I stood up. We caught this nearby scene. |
![]() |
Jill claimed she was not in charge. However, she makes things happen. |
![]() |
Steve's bread was as delicious today as it was Sunday. |
![]() |
The little kids enjoyed their meal outside. |
![]() |
I finally sat down to eat. I tasted the potatoes and gravy first. Jeff asked me how it was. I cried. I don't know what else to say--it was that good! |
![]() |
The evening was beautiful and a couple of the chefs left for a walk. Other chefs left for Corinne's yoga class. I washed dishes in a peaceful, quiet kitchen. |
![]() |
I observed other people eating other pies. |
![]() |
This was a fantastic meal, enjoyed in the company of wonderful, caring family members. I am thankful for my family. |
