After-dinner playground trip!

Here are some pix taken earlier tonight at the playground around the corner from our house. Unfortunately the camera battery died before we got any pictures on the swing...oh, well...next time!









Getting ready to slide with Daddy.













Whee!













There are some old trucks and other toys sprinkled about the playground which Josie enjoys investigating.

Welcome to Ann Arbor!

Jack and Josie on our front steps earlier this evening.












The new abode (for now--we've got a year lease). Fingers crossed that our Chicago apartment sells quickly--the first showing went well and there are two more tomorrow!










Josie and her tennis ball.













Hanging out in the small rock garden out front.













A picture taken in our living room from last week or so.












Ready to go out!

Reading

Let's read!













Josie likes to point out the kitty cats in any book that she's reading.

Where's your tongue?

Josie enjoys showing us that she knows where her tongue is.












There it is.













Showing off the tongues in front of the house.













Blurrrrrrry tongue.













That was fun!

Scenes from the backyard

Joan and Chris and Benjamin and Biscuit were in Ann Arbor over the 4th of July weekend and came over to visit.
















The people we're renting the house from left us their lawn furniture. Josie likes to hang out in the grass nearby.
















Josie takes a break from walking around the table.












The chairs are comfortable enough for two.


















When Benjamin and Chris and Josie form a band someday, this can be their album cover.

Watermelon dress

Josie has a new watermelon dress, compliments of Grandma. She looks super-cute in it, as you can see.

















Yup, I guess I do look pretty darn cute in this dress.

Josie at the Farm

Over the 4th of July weekend, Josie visited nearby Domino's Petting Farm (the original barn was built in 1925 by the Zeebs, of Zeeb Road fame and Zeeb, our cat's, namesake!). The founder of Domino's Pizza had bought the property back in the 80's, but it is now a non-profit with no affiliation except for the retention of the name. Josie had a good time visiting the Farm with Jack and some of our friends and their kids who were in town for the weekend.


Hmmm...what's over here?














Oh, it's chickens!













I like chickens. They're nice.












Wait! I changed my mind about chickens...run for your life!
