I arrive at Paymaan and Annie Shafai's in Eastvale, California.

It was exciting. I had not seen These folks for two years. In the case of Max, the four year old, it had been half of his life.

Max 4

Charlie 5

Jack 9

The beautiful redhead Annie kissing red headed Jack, would not tell her age.

It was good to see Hunter again.

And Mittens.

Brave Annie walks her two oldest boys to school. Because of foot surgery her left leg is in a cast almost to her knee.

Charlie and his friend are looking forward to the day in school with great joy.

Grandma Nancy and her three gransons share a moment of mirth. Nancy is at Annie's to help out while Paymaan is out of town on business.
