Sitting up

Joshua is just learning to sit up. He sits but as soon as he sees something interesting he lunges and topples over. He is very jealous of his older cousins and wants to sit and move like them. They crawl all around and over him. He scoots as fast as he can to get to them but as soon as he gets there they have crawled away. So he is very motivated.


He loves the sunshine and playing with the shadows.

More Snow

While Kathryn has been out in California enjoying the warm weather and shorts and T-shirt, I've been shoveling snow in between snow storms. All week we were hearing about the big Nor'easter that was supposed to hit and leave 18-24 inches of snow on Sunday. That morning I was woken up by a call from the Bishopric so that we could let the ward know that church was cancelled because of the weather. All told, we have well over 2 feet of snow on the ground now, plus it just started snowing again...Maybe I'll get out skiing before I leave town this weekend.

The Babies

Joshua and I have been in California visiting my family. We have been very busy, and have been having lots of fun. Of course we really miss daddy, and can't wait for him to be here next week. He is hopefully studying hard without any distraction.

Tonight the family all came up for a BBQ and to see Joshua. Since we had the three youngest grandkids together we tried to take a picture of them. Getting a 12, 9 and 6 month old to sit and pose turned out to be quite the adventure. They were crawling all over and poor little Joshua was watching his two older cousins and was trying to keep up by scooting and rolling all over.

Joshua, Braddock and Ezra

After lots of attempts and clapping and shaking toys this is the best we got. They all had fun, but we were all pretty worn out. It was great to see everyone.

We have movement...

Joshua is learning to move himself around. He's not too quick yet, but I'm sure he'll soon be crawling all over the place. Hopefully this re-post fixes the sound glitch.

Joshua's First Snow

Sunday night it started to snow, and continued off and on through Tuesday night. We put Joshua in his new snowsuit and I took him out for a walk for a few minutes. He was absolutely enthralled by watching the snowflakes fall, but got a bit scared when some landed on him.
