Athens, Part I

Jack and I got to Athens late Friday night. Jack had fallen asleep and was just about worn out. He just laid in my lap while we visited for awhile. We were all about to go to bed when he suddenly got a burst of energy. He wanted Aunt Lissa to open his new potty and he wanted to put together his puzzle. So, we stayed up a little longer. The next morning, Jack was ready to go outside. Wannie's friend Linda had delivered a swing set as a new addition to the hill. Jack was a little unsure about it but now he loves it. It will be so fun to watch all the kids together. We spent the day outside, enjoying Earth Day and visiting. Mike and Kathy came on Sunday and we had a nice lunch and visit. Sunday evening Wannie and I began out sewing lessons and Jack decided to learn, too. He helped Wannie so much. Today we're off to Tyler to shop a little so it should be another fun day!

This one might be Jack's favorite swing. He's figured out how to push and pull to get it to go.

Poppa likes the swing, too.

I imagine a good conversation can take place on the swing set.

Not much goes on in Athens, but we can watch the new oil well from the front porch. We're keeping our fingers crossed that it's a good one!

Aunt Lissa bought Jack a whole gardening get-up: gloves, shovel, rake and weed bucket. He's been pulling weeds and diggin' dirt a lot. The gloves are too big but guess what, he helped Wannie cut and sew them to Jack size.

He sure got tired digging in the dirt and took a rest on the porch swing with Poppa.

Learning to sew with Wannie. He's very interested in it. He asked all kinds of questions about what does what. He'll get the hang of it soon!
