Tom and Jenny!

After our time with friends in northern PA, we headed south to see Mark's brother Tom and his wife, Jenny! Andrew actually remembered being at their house the last time we came back east, and was greatly looking forward to our visit! Again, although we could have used several more days with them, we were grateful for the time they carved out of their weekend for us! Anna warmed right up to Uncle Tom...Hmm-you remind me of my dad. You must be okay. And you have my blankie. So you're really okay.

Uncle Tom and Aunt Jenny are also both really good at reading stories, and have a great old farmhouse to run a loop through! (I think they were probably glad to have some peace and quiet when we left). :)

They joined us at the train museum on Saturday (that post coming next!), and then we were able to attend their church on Sunday, which Tom pastors.

From there, Mark's Aunt Carol and Uncle David and also his cousin Fred were able to drive up from MD to see us. It was wonderful to catch up with everyone! Fred brought his remote control airplane, which was an instant hit with the boys. And Aunt Carol and Uncle David had sent the boys some money to use on their trip, and at the train museum they picked out the roundhouse for their wooden Thomas train set...it has been a huge delight to this day! (And in the bottom left pic you can see the darling pj's Aunt Carol brought for Anna)! :)

And before we left Lancaster, we were able to get our Cracker Barrel visit in with Mark's parents and Aunt Carol and Uncle David! A fun time and good food were had by all for the whole weekend-thanks for your hospitality, Tom and Jenny!
