bye-bye Da - day 2

Today was a beautiful day. It was warm and overcast. It was a perfect day at the park. Jace and I took a long walk and played at the park. Jace was tired when we got back to Palmer's house. He took a nap and woke up very grumpy. This is not uncommon but today he was grumpy for a long time after the nap. Elaine and I got tickled with him because he kept giving us dirty looks and refused to be cheered up. He did get better after we gave him a snack (and he filled a diaper).

It is too quiet tonight. Jace is asleep and Joel is gone. I like being home but it is always difficult for me to settle down and go to bed. I'm tired so I better try to get some sleep soon.

I didn't take any photos today, just the video. If I could have captured it, today's photo would have been Jace meeting a little girl at the park. She was 14 months old. She and Jace spent a few minutes staring at each other across the back of a little blue whale riding toy at the park. (I didn't think her mom would like a stranger taking her photo.) It was a cute moment.

Here are some photos I took last week that I love. Who needs a walker when you have a big box of Pampers to push around, right? Joel and I were at opposite ends of the hallway with Jace pushing the box back and forth between us. He would stand up behind the box, hunch his shoulders, get a very serious look on his face and then push. The face had me laughing so hard I started crying.
