catching up

A few days without Internet put me way behind and not sure how to catch up on the blog entries. It is already late tonight so I'll just post a few photos.

We made it back home yesterday. Joel has a couple more days of work before he can be home for a long 4th of July holiday.

Joel and Jace on their way back to the condo (in background) after dinner. The streets were still wet the rain that afternoon.

We did a little exploring in the canyon near Eagle's Nest, NM. This was a cool spot where the stream ran through a fallen log. Jace could have played in the water and rocks all day. He cried when it was time to get back in the car.

Today was my first time babysitting in the infant room at church during the service. There were only 3 babies (including Jace) and one other adult so it went well. Jace and I took a walk with Grandma Elaine this afternoon. Jace walked part of the way and helped push his own stroller. The photo was taken tonight at the church where we attended a BBQ and 4th of July music presentation. Jace and I didn't stay for much of the music because he was tired and needed to get home to bed.

This week Jace has made huge progress walking. He can go all over by himself. I get a kick out of how he holds his arms up to help balance.
