Playtime!

We had a rare evening at home with just the three of us the other night so playtime ensued:-)  I hurried to edit this and get it on the Blog just for you Kaidance, Madilyn and Aubrey!!  Enjoy:-)

Women of Faith

This past weekend I was lucky enough to sneak away for a couple days to a conference in St. Paul called Women of Faith.  I went with one of my besties, Kristin, and we met up with her mom and a group of lovely ladies from the Litchfield area.  It was the quintessential girl's weekend...lots of good food, stories, laughter and of course a few tears shed over the emotional stories shared.  This was my first time at a Women of Faith event and I was HIGHLY impressed!  The speakers were phenomenal and the music was uplifting and the whole experience was a blessing.  If you have a chance to attend, you won't regret it!  Check out their website for more info.  A BIG thank you to my mom and dad for letting Josiah hang out at their house while I was gone and Daddy was working!!  Here are a few pictures from the weekend:

We rode in style on the Jesus bus

Monica (Kristin's mom), Ellen, Judy and Diane

You can see Bob the driver in the front of the bus...this brave
soul drove 40 women around downtown St. Paul for 2 days
and didn't lose his mind...we don't think:-)

Matching shirts are a MUST for any successful girls weekend, aren't they?

Ding Dong

Every day before we go in the house, Josiah has to ring the door bell and say "Ding dong, who's here? Oh, it's me!"  Every day.  Without fail.  So, last night I finally got it on tape since I think it's pretty cute:-)  And it will be great footage to pull out at his graduation party or wedding some day:-)  Enjoy!

What has the little man been up to?

I haven't posted about Josiah in a few weeks so I thought I'd update you all on what he's been doing these days.  Mainly, he's perfecting the art of being two years old.  A friend from church taught him to say "I'm 2, and I'm good at it!" a few weeks ago and boy was she right!  He is mainly a happy go lucky kind of guy...unless he is short on sleep and then LOOK OUT!  Wailing, gnashing of teeth and crying abound!  I don't think he is unique in this development, in fact most parents probably can relate.  I can't complain too much because a good dose of sleep restores order and all is well again:-)  He talks NON-stop and by non-stop, I mean, from the time he opens his eyes to the time he closes them again, he is narrating life.  One positive to this is that I don't have to be in the same room with him to know what he's up to, he tells me:-)  Overall he is a sweet little guy and keeps us laughing all the time with his antics and commentary on life.  Here are a couple pictures and a video to illustrate further.

He discovered "chock-whet" cake and hasn't looked
 back...the boy has a sweet tooth just like his daddy!

Doing his best Forrest Gump impression
