My friends

We have a friend Alvin. He has mom Irene and dad Tim. We are happy, like Alvin, that we have our mothers and fathers. The best time is when we are with them. Look, here is Alvin with his dad in the park and with his mom at home.

We love Alvin, Irene and Tim – they are our friends. And also our Mom and Dad always tell us that in other families it happens so: for example, one dad or one mom and that’s all. It happens so. And children must understand that they are happy, it just happens so, and believe that mom or dad, who are single yet, will certainly find their soul mate, and children must help them in this. We believe in this, because our Mom and Dad say so, and adults know this better than us.

Our friend Irene Jane Holmes is a writer. She writes interesting and funny books for children (and their parents!). She has started a fundraiser for her projects: https://www.gofundme.com/f/authorireneholmes

We hope people will help her and will read her books too! We love you, Irene Jane!

-----------------------

Dad said: “What an “attagirl” is Irene”. And Mom said: “Attagirl, because she is no longer a girl.” We asked why Mom said so, and she answered: “The older we are, the harder it is to study and to find time to study.” Mom and Dad are strange, they did not understand that exactly a girl lives inside Irene.

 Irene, we congratulate you! Oh, and Alvin, and Tim too. Hello!

------------------------

   Dad has said today that it has already been a month since the birth of Christ, and we immediately have remembered about photos of our friends Irene, Tim and Alvin. We like them so much that we have decided to show them to all of You. We think that month – it is very little, and if Jesus is now one month, then He will also like to see photos of Irene, Tim and Alvin! Like we do!

Hello to Irene, Tim and Alvin!

------------------------

Mom and Dad say that our life continues in our children...

 Mom and Dad say that Tim is an attaboy, because after the death of his mother Mary he and his family went to celebrate Alvin's birthday to Irene Jane mother Colleen. They say it was very hard for him. Probably, yes, we think so...

...but now Alvin has a gift - sticky balls. And he will be able to create from them whatever he wants and present it to his father Tim to let him look aside from sad thoughts...

...and we tell Tim that he is an attaboy! And we like Irene and her mother Colleen...

 ...and we also tell Alvin that we like his sticky balls very much. And his cat

--------------------------------------  

Alvin, Tim and Irene Jane sent us a photo of Alvin's Grandma Mary. She passed away. Mom and Dad told us that this can happen in any family...

...but there is one way out from this such situation: to remember and love your grandmother in your heart...

...and continue to live on. As Tim and Irene made a celebration for Alvin on his 5th birthday...

...and Grandma Mary was with them in their hearts

--------------------------------------

Today is Halloween. We went to Mom and Dad and said: "Give us our costumes, it is time to wear them. Our friend Alvin is already in costume. He sent us his photos..."

...we like Alvin so much!...

...and he also sent us his mother's banner. And we like it too!

 

--------------------------------------

Look, look! James came to celebrate our friend Irene Jane birthday...

...she is now 46 years old, we like her very much, especially with this cap...

...all her family are our friends...

...and boys in her book are our friends too

--------------------------------------
This May our friend's Alvin father had a birthday. This May our friend's Alvin mother from far country America published a book...

...it seems to us that it is interesting, because we like to dig in the sand

 

--------------------
On 23^rd of May our friend Tim celebrated his 61st birthday. He was congratulated by...

...our friend Irene Jane (Tim’s wife). And…

...our friend Alvin (Tim’s son). And…

...their cats. They had so much fun…

...and we would like to be with them too, and we would like to put out a tongue like Alvin too. Happy birthday, Tim!
