When I came home from work yesterday, the kids were in the pool in the front yard. It was a nice warm afternoon. (Today is a lot cooler, but it should warm up again into the weekend.) They were having fun, as well as enjoying playing with the toys in the house, etc... all things they haven't done for a few days.

Lately when Hanna wants to wander off to a different place, she'll look at you and wave her fingers and say "bye". And she'll wait for you to reply, she wants you to say "bye" back to her! She is saying a few more words more clearly now, like "juice".

I took the kids to bumpy slide park last night while Rhonda went to Walmart. John had fun chasing around with a group of older boys. He always went up and down the big metal slide a lot. And of course, Hanna saw that and she wanted to go up too, so she climbed all the way up there all by herself. I caught her when she came down, as it was a bit fast, but she knows no boundaries when it comes to being involved with whatever everyone else is doing!

Ah, September traffic. Was a slow drive into work this morning.
