Jonathan and Lisa came to visit with their lovely daughter Jade last weekend. We really just wanted to hang out with Jade, but I guess the parents still come with the kid as a package deal until a certain age. She, of course, is an awesome kid. Very quiet, very happy, and amazingly easy to please.
Look at how cute she is… I have no idea where she gets it from…
But, she’s a good time. She likes to laugh, and smile… she really doesn’t cry much at all, and when she does, Lisa has it figured out to exactly what she needs. Although, it seems like a pretty simple rotation… food, sleep, poop. In that order… and just repeating. But, Lisa was very good at staying on top of each of these functions before it was really an issue, so the result was very little crying.
Lisa gave the Snuggie some love … (for some reason, they thought 60 degrees was chilly… I suppose they’re not used to these Boone summers …) and then later on taught Jonathan how to tie his shoes.
We took advantage of a weekend full of nice weather and went on a walk on the Greenway trail. The trail, of course, is always a good time, but it’s amazing how many people love to stop and ask about the baby… I suppose it’s like having a cute puppy… I’m willing to bet that the same people that make “gootchie gootchie” noises at babies are the ones who wag a finger in dismay when the children hit two years old and become non-stop screaming terrors.
Here we all are on a bridge on the Greenway trail. We had a good little walk, and then came back to the house for some nice beef and veggie kebobs.
In other news… the truck left us… It said it was tired of the neglect, and just didn’t have to stand for this nonsense anymore. So, it grabbed its lugnuts and drove off into the sunset.
Actually, it’s going to a better place. A place where it’ll be driven. A place where it can dip its tire in saltwater, and watch the sunrise over the sand. It loaded itself onto the trailer and is heading off to sunny Myrtle Beach. If you happen to see it around that area, pet it softly, and feed it a set of platinum spark plugs. It always loved those.
That’s all for now, but the weather has been staying mostly nice, so we’ve been venturing out and taking afternoon walks and whatnot… Until next time… … …
