Usually she'll mention him a few times throughout the day, and then it hits hard when she's a little tired - and especially at bedtime. She always wants me to sing to her, but now I have to work hard to find the right songs, because she will stop me and say "No, Mommy, Daddy always sings that to me". The other night it was raining hard and Adele was so concerned that Daddy wasn't around and kept saying "Daddy just needs to come home! He's gonna get his head wet!" Pretty smart little girl - Daddy's not home, so he must be out somewhere in the storm getting his head wet.
However, despite missing David, it sure has been nice having such great weather since we got to Iowa! We have spent lots of time outside - playing London Bridges Falling Down, Duck Duck Goose, visiting the Farmer's Market, playing in a little wading pool, getting together with friends for picnic dates at the park, eating ice cream, and visiting the zoo.
Here are some pictures of our time thus far:
Before David left, we spent an afternoon swimming at Aunt Rachel's pool
Henry's favorite activity - sitting on Grandpa's lap, cooing
A little Duck Duck Goose with James
Henry hanging out with Katie and Shawn

My sweet beautiful baby boy
Aunt Rachel has taught Adele how to make a "funny face"
Henry chatting it up with Grandma on Orange Day
And a few from our trip to the Omaha Zoo:

The girl always has to take the more interesting path
Stopping for an elephant ride
Hitchin' a ride with Grandpa
The zoo was a good place for a morning snooze
Adele roaring like a bear in front of the bear cage
Ending the day with a ride on the train!
