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.


Helping make the pancakes for papa.


At Lake Wright Pattman, here in Texarkana.


Checking out the water traffic and loving the noise of the jet-skis.


Posing with Papa at the lake.


Helping with the laundry.


A pensive moment between forays in the sand box and the mud pile.


Check out this mud after a good Arkansas rain!!


Nice!!


Can you say "Mrs. Kravitz"?


Angus overseeing the whole outdoor area, making sure we are "squirrel-free"!!


Preparing for the first haircut.


Sitting ever so still for Miss Mary!


Such a big boy!


That kind of tickles!


So very handsome!!



Such a sweet little angel boy! Sound asleep with his "Pandy" and his "silky".

Pancakes, mud and swimming pools all equal great family fun and memories. We just put water in Karlee's pool today. Praying that Joshua's speech continues to improve.

You can tell when you've lived in Albania long enough that the thing that catches your eye is the bottle of real Heinz ketchup in the background! Your little man is sooo cute!

It was great seeing you the other day, Charley. Next time maybe we'll have time to see everyone.

We're really tired (all of us) after our flying trip.
