the duck pond

I'm sitting on the couch, Jake's napping, banana bread is baking, and I'm discovering a new band, oh and it's Sunday.  Life is good.  The group is Iko.  My fav thus far is heart of stone but I like all of them-nice melodic/chill vibe.  I feel like time is racing by sluggishly lately.  Code has been getting ready to go deliver the product he's been building for his new company to some clients in California.  Needless to say he's been VERY busy trying to get it all done on time.  I've kind of forgotten what it's like for him to come home and be able to be home and not work in the evenings, so I'm very excited for this first hurtle to be over with. We sure are earning our vacation this next weekend!  Georgia here we come!

Between the work though we've still managed to have some quality family time.  Yesterday we went to the duck pond south of campus cause Jake's never really been to a duck pond since he's been old enough to know what the heck is going on.  They have totally changed it!  There's a nice boardwalk around the pond and railings etc.  pretty shnazzy.  Jake LOVED the ducks and couldn't understand why they didn't want to play with him and would waddle away as soon as he got close.  He especially liked it when they ducks would quack really loud-ya know, when it sounds like they're laughing.  We were kicking ourselves cause we forgot to bring our nice camera-it was such a pretty day and we could have gotten way nicer pics.  Oh well, for another day I guess :)

I love the trees the pond-how they're roots just go right into the water is cool to me- looks like a swamp without having to deal with icky humidity :)
