Playing at the Park

It has been cool but beautiful in Iowa. I love fall! We went to the park today. Jonathan loved going down the slide, however he went down on his tummy every time. There were lots of walnuts so he was excited about all the "balls" lying around.

Where's the Puppies?

This is one of Jonathan's favorite questions but today it was my mom and I's question. Jonathan had been playing with five little puppies. I went to get the puppies and couldn't find them anywhere. Mom and I looked everywhere and asked Jonathan where they were. He would just repeat us and act like he had no idea. Look at the pictures and see if you can find the puppies. Lucky for us Grandpa knew where the puppies were or we would still be looking.

Going to the Ice Cream Truck WIth Uncle Chad

Jonathan and I made it safely to Waterloo after about 10 hours on the road and scaring Grandma O, Grandpa O, and Chaun (you'll have to ask about that story). We had fun visiting all our friends and family. I didn't take enough pictures so hopefully I'll get some more on the way home. Jonathan was amazing in the car. He hardly fussed. He just played with his toys and looked at books. It was a blessing. Here Jonathan is with his Uncle Chad at the ice cream truck. Chad and the kids took off chasing the truck. Jonathan was so excited, even though he didn't know why. He danced all the way down the street (on Chad's shoulders). He even got a Spiderman ice cream treat. Thanks Uncle Chad!

Here is a little side story of God's faithfulness to us before I left. Our car had a flat tire, so we pumped it up and took it to the shop. As the mechanic pulled it into the garage the brakes went out. Five minutes earlier and Chaun would have been driving in busy traffic and it would have caused a bad accident. I am thankful for the Lord's protection!

Hard at Work (Or is it Play?)

Jonathan spent hours playing with his farm today. He rearranged the animals and people over and over. I wish I knew what was going on in that head of his. Here are few pictures of his hard work.

Look at My New Shoes

Jonathan has had two babysitters in Louisville. They have both been named Erin. Chaun and I have gotten to know this Erin and her husband Ryan. They babysat so we could go out for supper. Jonathan got play outside and see lots of puppies. He also liked Erin shoes. He had a little trouble walking in them though. Thanks Erin and Ryan!

Lounging in the Chair

Where is the remote?

Jonathan's New Friend Calvin

We got invited over to play at a new friends house. The boys had a blast playing with the rocks and water. Jonathan was soaked and muddy, but he had a lot of fun.
