Well, we had a fun but quick trip to Nebraska to visit Karrie, Chad and Madison. We got back Monday evening. They have a nice little lake about 15 minutes from their house, so we went boating and swimming twice. Natalie had a blast.
More splashing for Daddy (we did spend Father's Day there). Momma got in the water but didn't swim a lot because she doesn't have a suit that fits right now!
She would have stayed in the water all day if we let her...
And here is Daddy with both girls. Madison was a little hesitant to get in the water at first, but she eventually joined in the fun. On the way home we stopped at Cabella's and got Natalie her own life jacket and new fishing pole. She was so excited. They had about 12 to choose from, and we let her pick the pole out on her own...she chose the only pink and purple princess one. Since Monday she has been BEGGING to go fishing, so she is with Grandma and Grandpa this weekend, looking forward to her private fishing trip with Grandpa Guy on the boat tomorrow.
And here is a snapshot from just before we left. Against my better judgement I left her in the kitchen for about 2 minutes while I ran back to the bedroom, innocently thinking that because she was having yogurt for a snack it would keep her occupied for a minute. Well, it was a little too quiet, and when I came back out she was finger painting with her yogurt. It was everywhere, including her hair! It was too cute to not take a picture.
Another cute story from last week...she was "having a movement" on the potty and I could tell it was taking quite a bit of concentration, so I just let her be for a bit. When she was done she stood on her stool and looked in the toilet, raised her arms triumphantly and yelled, "Ta Da!" It was too funny for words, and of course I didn't have the video camera. That will just have to be one I tell in person when she's older!
We had fun in Nebraska and are home for the week. Kyle has to work on our anniversary tomorrow (5 years!), so we went out to dinner and a movie tonight. It was fun and great to spend some time alone together. He bought me some O'Douls so I could have a beer from the fridge if I ever feel like it. We decided to just do cards and not gifts because we're headed on a big trip, so the evening out was just right. Anyway, things are good with us. I have a doctor appointment next week before we leave and lots of house cleaning to do. Hope everyone is well in the great beyond. Hugs to all.
