Yes, Jane is a Great Aunt, and has been for nearly 20 years. Of course before that she was already a great Aunt. And before that I thought she was just great everything, and still do. (Jane is the 9th of eleven children so her oldest niece is near her age. Lots of relatives in a family that size!)
This week one of her great nephews visited — Jarod. He is one of the sweetest, delightful, fun-to-be-around little guys. He adores his cousin Elliot, calling him "King Elliot" and "Master E". When he watched him play Little League he cheered like the devoted fan he is.
He leaves tomorrow and we will miss him and look forward to the next visit. The pictures above are from a fishing outing we took at one of our favorite ponds in the area (as well as a shot of a visit to the playground after Little League earlier in the day.) We forgot the camera (ugh) but brought his catch home with us so all the world could see Jarod’s first fish! Way to go, little man!
