Two Week Disappearing Act

Greetings again! My apologies for the brief break in updates. I don't even have a good excuse...I've just been lazy I guess. I don't even have than many pictures! Geez, what a slacker! :)

One day, Grandma and Grandpa D came to Kearney and we went out to eat and then to get some plants at Menards. Holy awesomeness! Menards has a whole bunch of playhouses and even a big swing set that you can play on! And it's indoors! And the evening we were there is was empty! Try to contain your excitement! After spending a LOT of time in the playhouses, Jolie discovered a toddler swing on the swing set. She loved it and we probably swung/swang/went swinging?--whatever it's called for almost half an hour! You can imagine how well it went over when we had to leave...

Here's some action shots!


It has been raining lots here so we haven't had much time to play outside. Josh had today off and during a small rain break, he and Jolie headed outside to her picnic table. (Which Josh recently used bungee cords to tie it down to the deck, along with the grill--this wind can't take away our fun!) Anyway, doesn't she just look like she's having so much fun? She LOVES things that are her size--little tables, chairs, etc. So she LOVES her picnic table and is always trying to get outside any chance she gets.

She's also gone all 'Linus' on us from Peanuts. Linus was the one who always carried his blankie everywhere. Jolie has had a blanket that we always kept in her crib that's super soft. We knew she loved to lay on top of it when she sleeps (she's slept with it since she was born) but the other day, after a nap, she took it out of the crib with her and carried it everywhere. I had no idea she was so attached to it! Now she's been taking it out of the crib every time and keeping it close by while she plays.

Here she set up a little desk area with her sippy cup, book and blankie (and some random measuring cup she grabbed from the kitchen). She was so proud and thought she was such a big girl.
