A Visit With Bob and Larry!

Today we went to Charley's work, LifeWay Christian Store, and met Bob and Larry from the Veggie Tales. Joshua was very excited to view them from the stroller. He squealed with delight. But when we suggested he shake hands with them, he was not so sure. It took about 30 minutes for him to warm up to them, but after that, there was no turning back. He followed them all over the store and in the end even hugged them! It was so much fun!! But first, a pic of our favorite little fluff muffin!

Mr. Cool!!!

Here they are, Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato!


Joshua clings for dear life to Charley!



Hugs for Larry.....

...and Bob too!

Pools, Mud and Haircuts!!

Well, June is busting out all over!! Okay, maybe not busting out literally, but the little tune just came to me! We are having lots of summer fun. Joshua went to the birthday party of his 2nd cousin, Madison, where he rode the tricycle, played in the pool and met his first baby kitten. He is enjoying his sand box and we have gone to the local lake. He is growing and changing so much, it is amazing to watch! He had his first haircut by our friend Mary and it seems to make him look even bigger!! What a joy we have been blessed with in this little man!

Riding the tricycle.


Sweet little kitten.


The water was FREEZING, but it did not phase Joshua!


He just played like crazy, pouring the water over himself and squealing with delight.
