Aunt Claire, Uncle Al, & Michael

Jonathan’s Aunt Claire and Uncle Al own a gorgeous home in Fayetteville, Pennsylvania—complete with a media viewing room from which we could hardly tear the kids away.  We’re so glad we were finally able to drop in for a visit and, as an added bonus, we got to see cousin Michael while there as he was home with his folks for Thanksgiving. 

{michael led the kids through instruction on how to build “the world’s best paper airplane”.  jack continued his efforts when we returned home because he thought this was such a fun idea.  ella seemed to always make the best one; however, i really think it’s her finesse in throwing them that makes the difference.}

{michael’s an artist and ella would ask for ideas from michael on what to draw, make her sketch, and then show it to him for his assessment of her work.  jack had to show some of his art skills off, too, so you can see in this picture his drawing of a ninja fight.}

{it was a little too snowy and wet outside, so we had to test them down the hallway.}
