Grandad and Boppy came to Iowa to see me this week! They arrived on Tuesday night and played with me all of Wednesday and Thursday, then left Friday am. We had a great time- lots of walks to look at the changing leaves, playing with my sisters, and trying out a new toy: a bouncy jumper chair. It's a seat that is suspended from a frame by four bungee cords. It's pretty cool- it wobbles and shakes and plays really funny music. It gives me the perfect place to sit and watch my sister's antics.Boppy is a lot of fun to have around. She makes funny sounds that make me laugh and she plays the Wicked soundtrack while we dance and sing. One of Boppy's favorite muscials is the Sound of Music, which happens to be one of daddy's favorites as well. He downloaded a few songs from the movie into his iphone and we danced and sang to them as well.
On Thursday night, we went to Takanami with Bruce and Mary Ganz again. I am becoming quite the regular at that place! This time, when I got restless, Boppy took me to watch the fish in their giant tank. I was totally mesmerized!
On Friday, we went to Chicago . . . and met up with Boppy and Grandad again! YAY! And Uncle Steve and Uncle Kurt were there too! But that's a story for the next entry.

Ada is not surprised that You like the soundtrack from the The Sound of Music (which is Ada's all time favorite musical). When you were visiting Spring Creek you went on a hike with your Mom and Gran and unca Mike, me and your nanny dog Evie and we sang Edelweiss and you loved the song- I have never seen a baby go on a long hike and not fall asleep or get a little tired but being the true tree hugger child that you are (you get that from your mom and aunt jenny) and the exlporer that you are (you get that from your Gran)you got a huge smile and did your kick dance as we sang Edelweiss (you get your love for The Sound of Music from your dad and me).
To honor this important event I have included the lyrics:
Edelweiss Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me.
Blossom of snow may you bloom and glow
Bloom and glow forever
Edelweiss Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever.
