The Homecoming

Six months after leaving for California on the Greyhound bus, the beloved middle son came home for a ten day visit. Here's a piece of my heart:
Small kitchen, big fun. The family welcomes him home:

Fash effortlessly kept the nieces and one nephew (her cousins) entertained during the party. The other nephew was playing Othello with I.T. Here is the zebra shoot:
Here is the nerdz shoot:


Divas and their manager shoot: (wardrobe provided by Fashionista's closets)
Too cute shoot (check out the ponytails):
Another night, this longtime, wonderful friend surprised Pilgrim with a ticket to the Skillet concert for his birthday. Pilgrim turned 20 while he was here!

That's all for now- hope your holiday season is bright.

Does anyone in your family NOT have the WONDERFUL ability entertain and make people laugh!?? I loved this!

When I come to visit MI (hopefully in spring or summer) I might just move in with you. LOL! Just kidding.

Love you!

Hey Sara wasn't there when I started. Everyone is faster than me.

So glad your boy was home. Thanks for sharing him with us! Oh, and by the way--I love Fash! Her ability to entertain is wonderful! I bet those kids love her!

I'm so glad you had that time with your son - I know each moment was precious!

Great to see the party pics. Got to hug your other son tonight here at a green event...such wonderful boys we have. My Y comes home in a week too!

i love the pics of fash with the kiddos. those are great! i think you should get a frame with a triple-opening mat and put them in it.

i did not realize until this post how much pilgrim looks like o-t-b. they didn't seem to look very alike (at least to me) when they were younger.

your initial pic of pilgrim has an ethereal look to it. not sure whether you did that on purpose, but it looks kinda cool.

alright, i'm off to order some cds and then i'm heading over to wastebook. perhaps i'll see you there. :-)
