Uncle Jack

We had a great visit with my brother and his fiance at his house yesterday. Ezra cried the entire drive home because he didn't want to leave, and repeatedly chastised me for taking him away from his uncle for the remainder of the day.

Today he went over to Grandpa and Grandma's house and played with his Aunt Ruth, who sent me the following text:
Ezra just told me: "My mommy took me away from jack and I was crying because I was sad and I just want to play with him again."

Thurman's Rescue

Esra just insisted Seth and I put him in his fire truck bed and act out an entire play. Seth was Grandpa and I was Grandma and the bed was a car. The crib was the volcano and he was Thurman and he crawled out of the window and I had to grab his back legs and Seth had to pull over and run around to the passenger side and grab Thurman's front legs to save him.

This happened thirty-four years ago while my parents were driving up from California (the weekend Mt. St. Helens erupted), to move my dad (and his cat, Thurman) to Washington.

Ezra and Stories

Ezra asks for stories constantly. He enjoys books, of course, but loves stories about when he/his parents/his aunts and uncles/friends/grandparents were kids. And he remembers them in such vivid detail!
