More pictures

We just got high speed internet at our house! So I thought I would post some more pictures of our summer.Here are a couple of pictures of Jennifer in Florida. She loved the swimming pool! There was no fear at all, she would walk in the water until she couldn't touch anymore and still want to keep going! She would jump off the side, sometimes before I was ready to catch her. Jennifer also loved the beach. I wasn't sure what she would think of the waves coming up and getting her but she thought it was great.Her is Jennifer washing her car, while we wash our cars. She had her own bucket of water and her own sponge, she probably did better on her car than Bill and I did on our cars!

We went to the Iowa State Fair this year, this was our first time there since Jennifer was born. Jennifer did the "Helping Hands on the Farm". It is a cute little farm setup for kids to go around. They plant a vegetable, as you can see Jennifer doing in the second picture, then they go from station to station getting different things and at the end they get a "dollar" to buy something with. Jennifer of course chose chips! She looked pretty cute in her apron and hat!This is just a cute picture of Jennifer while we were playing at the park one evening.

Jennifer is continuing to do well at school. When I drop her off she still kind of plays shy and pretends she dosen't want to stay but once I leave she if fine. I know she has a great time. When I pick her up and ask her what she did at school she always signs the word play several times. It is very sweet. Speaking of school Bill starts school in a few weeks too. He is starting his masters program for Children and Family Ministries. Most of his work will be done on line but at the end of October he will be gone on campus for two weeks. He got his books ealier this week and it is a lot of reading! Bill joked that he has read maybe two or three in the course of a year or two and now he has to read several books in ten weeks! He is very excited to get started though. That is a little bit of what is happening with the McLeland's and you can check more often now for pictures and updates!
