More fun children

Dave came home to Josh reading this book to Miri while I was making dinner.


Yummy dinner!

Yelly dinner!


Mama and her babies!

And the computer is down!

Well, it finally happened. Our poor computer finally kicked the bucket at the tender age of four years. I went to turn it on yesterday, and got an error message. Took it to Best Buy, where we found out it would cost $200 to repair. At that point, Dave and I are now thinking we might as well replace the poor thing. The only problem is that all our wonderful baby pictures are on it. However, after doing a bit of digging on the web, I found the only ones we are missing are Febuary through May 2007. So not too horrible. Now we just have to decide what to do.

Other than that, have you ever had one of those weeks where every item in your house decides to break? This was that week for us. Our dishwasher broke, and one of the light covers on our dining room chandelier got broken. This has been an interesting week to say the least.

We have had a lot of fun though. Thursday night marked the end of the summer reading program at our library, and Josh, having read 40 books, got to go to a puppet show and receive a goody bag. Yesterday we went to a party on the lake, which was a lot of fun. Josh got to drive the pontoon when we went on the boat ride. He did a pretty good job, except for wanting to go fast and then slow really quickly.

Anyhow, because of the computer situation, we won't have any pictures for a while. There will be one more post tomorrow because I made it last week, but after that you will have to wait until we get a new computer or figure out how to fix ours. Until then, we hope you can make do without your daily (or weekly!) dose of circusy fun!

Playing around!

Birthday with Mamaw and Poppy

The same weekend as the airshow, Mamaw and Poppy came up to celebrate Josh's birthday. They went to the airshow, and Josh got birthday presents and cake! He has continuously enjoyed his new T-ball set and baseball glove. He can really nail that ball. Hits it clear across our yard. Still working on the catching though.



Judah (the black cat) jumped into the Panera bag on the left hand side of this picture. We didn't get any shots of it, but it was really cute to see the kids reaction to the kitty "present"!

His baseball glove. Josh actually hits the ball on the t left handed. But he writes with his right hand. We'll see how that turns out.

The Air Show

At the beginning of July, Mamaw and Poppy came up and all the boys got to go to an air show! Josh really enjoyed seeing all the airplanes. Ringmaster Dave took along the sunscreen, but since it was all guys who went, no one coated themselves thoroughly! So poor Dave had half his face burnt and half fine, and the back of his legs were bright red. Josh fortunately only had a small patch on his shoulder that got red. I also heard a story of some guy getting very mad at Dave and Josh for Josh being up in a plane and touching all the buttons (As any self-respecting three year old would do given the opportunity). I don't know the details of that though. But all in all, they had a really good time.

Cute little guy!

Josh getting his hair cut. It came out okay. A little uneven from the wiggling, but I think I did a decent job.

Hard Times

We've had a miscarriage. On July 2, our baby was born 7 months too early. We have been very sad, but we are gradually trying to pull our lives back together. Hopefully we will return to blogging more frequently soon. In the meantime, I'll try to upload some pictures of the two wonderful children we do have for everyone to enjoy.
