SNOW!

We got enough snow yesterday to take Joshua sledding in the backyard. He had a blast and it was fun for us to watch him look curiously at the "white stuff" all over. Now, for your help- the thing you ride down hills on the snow in- is it a sled or a toboggan???

So far in November . . .

It has been a great month of seeing friends from VA! Our highlight was getting to go on a double date with the Mingee's while Joshua and Aiden were watched by Aiden's grandparents. It was SO NICE to catch up with Jeff and Lauren- God has blessed us so much with their friendship.

The proud moms!

Our Men- the big ones and the little ones

April came for a visit and took lots of walks with Joshua

Joshua at his first baby shower- Yay for Baby Kang- coming January 2009

October

Although I was sick for most of October, it was a busy month for our little man . . . here is what he was up to while mom was down for the count:

Joshua became a big fan of taking naps in the car- check out his cool (and fake) brown leather jacket with motorcycle patch and all!

Picking out pumpkins at the local Pumpkin Patch was fun and a bit chilly :)

There were so many to pick from, he could not decide

He also started climbing the cart in his room . . .

. . . and would bring mom whatever he found :)

Again, naps in the car became a fun routine.

He also enjoyed trying on all of mom and dad's toboggans (the hat, not the sled)

Laughter IS the best medicine . . .

Here is a 1 1/2 minute clip of Joshua laughing and playing in his crib. He seems to be amused with a small plastic medicine dropper stopper. Seriously, it is the little things that make him happy. Hope you all get a smile out of this!
