"Happy"

When Jack is happy...i.e. he likes what he's eating, what he's playing, what he's seeing...he says "happy! happy!", sometimes accompanied by "happy feet"...i.e. dancing feet or for the Helmkamps "Missy's prance", as Ryan calls it.  He has been a very happy little guy since we got here.  He seems to enjoy the change in scenery.

(our front windows look out to the lake) 

I cleaned out the little closet in the kitchen for Jack to play in.
It's his new "house"...luckily it hasn't crossed his mind that mom & dad
crawled into his "house" at home to read to him...not gonna work here!

Fewer toys actually seems to be better...he's already spent hours w/
his tractor.  We'll see if it fails to entertain him after a month!

This should have been with the vacation pictures...
Jack was very interested as Ryan showed him pictures
of what we were going to see on vacation.  "Moutmouns"
(mountains) is a new vocab word for him now.
Pretty sure he wouldn't have picked that up in Iowa!
