Swimmin' at Ja's House

We are blessed to have fantastic neighbors across the street, Ja and Deland. Ja's grand kids (see the aforementioned post about Taver)are living with them temporarily, which means my kids have built in playmates close by. My girls call them "Grandma Ja and Papa Deland."

The kids all went out and beat the heat his morning in Ja's backyard. Ja's granddaughter Lilac has a very rare genetic disease that will probably take her life before she's a teenager. She was never supposed to walk or talk or eat or play. Good thing doctors don't know much. . .

Soren and Taver played together, of course.

Brody, Jumyatt, and Taver get along really well.

Caeden and Evelyn will probably get married someday (but only if he grows up to be a doctor, auto mechanic, or barber). Caeden bought Evie a stuffed bear and a bracelet at a garage sale today.

I will gladly send them all over there a lot this summer. It will be a great opportunity to take a break.
