Rainy Days

It's been cold and rainy here the last several days, which means staying inside where it's warm and dry. For me, that's no problem. In fact, it's what I prefer. But for Jeremiah, there have been some hard moments where he stands by the sliding glass door, points at the swingset and cries.

Yesterday it finally stopped raining and was a little warmer. Jon took him outside to play, and as you can see, he had a blast.

Something else that we've been doing a lot of these days is dancing. We'll come downstairs and play the stereo and just have a jam out time. We've gone to Toddler Time at the library, and Jeremiah has gotten to dance with some other kids. And sometimes he just starts dancing when we have the radio or other music playing in the background upstairs. Yesterday, we checked out a kids' CD from the library, and Jeremiah had fun listening to it. (Because I couldn't figure out how to rotate the video, you'll have to bear with me and tilt your heads to watch it. I figured a few seconds of tilt was better than me spending hours trying to figure out that one little thing.)

This afternoon, we're off to Onawa, IA (halfway between Sioux Falls and Lincoln) to pick up Isaiah and Phinehas. They'll be staying with us for a few days while their dad has shoulder surgery. So, be watching for fun pictures and stories that are sure to come!
