Despite the worried look on his face in the photo to the right (I know, he always looks worried), Jade (and I!) had fun today! Early this morning, our house was being shown so we brought him over to Patrick's parents' house with us around 9:30am. We made the very short walk to the playground at the nearby elementary school where we ran around and rolled in the grass. There were a bunch of little kids on the playground (it's a very cute park-like neighborhood), and they all came over and loved Jade up. I call him "The Love Sponge" because that's seriously what he is. He just soaks it up! :)

After our time in the schoolyard, we walked back to Patrick's where we layed in the grass some more while Patrick mowed the lawn for his mom, and then we went for a ride and came home.

Jade is so funny when we're in town because all the sights and sounds are so new to him, even though he has been visiting Patrick's house for five years now. He's always completely alert and has a difficult time relaxing.

Our new apartment is a block from the lake in Oswego (HUGE with two bedrooms, hardwoods, dining room and front porch! super cute!), and we have a gorgeous lakeside park (Breitbeck Park) on the North side of us, and we have the beautiful West Park on the South side of us! I can't WAIT to take him for lots of walks every day. It should help him become a lot more comfortable in the city. :)
