Father's Day Weekend in Owensboro








We had a big Father's Day weekend in Owensboro. Joshua and I were able to drive up early Friday morning (which kept his sleep schedule much more in check), and Andy, Eric and Joni Beth came after they finished work. It was wonderful to get to see everyone and to celebrate Andy and Eric's birthdays as well as Andy's first Father's Day. Joshua was a wonderful little guy the entire trip. He is such a good traveler. Let's hope he does this well in Destin in a few weeks!








June Fun



Here are just a few random pictures from June...before the big Father's Day weekend update. He has tried out several new things in the past few weeks. We tried him in the umbrella stroller at Mom's house. He did fantastic in it, which will make it much easier to not have to take the huge stroller to Destin in a few weeks.

I attended a baby shower for my friend Rebecca. Here is a picture of the attendees and of the incredible cake that Erin made for the shower.

On a sadder note, our friends Shannon and Mark and their baby, George, moved to Peoria, IL to start Mark's residency. We will certainly miss them but hope to go visit them maybe sometime in August. Here are a couple of pictures of George and Joshua playing with the jungle activity center. They finally look somewhat the same size, so that was good to see :).

Three Months Old...and a Busy Boy


We have had a very busy week this week with lots going on. We had our friend Brian Cole over for dinner on Wednesday night, went to the Hay Man on Thursday (Tom Creech's annual golf outing and dinner with customers), the Owensboro High School state semifinal baseball game with Eric and Joni Beth on Friday night, and went to David Noble's retirement open house and Kayla Talley's 1st birthday party on Saturday.

Joshua has had a big week also. He turned 3 months old today. He now weighs about 12 lbs 5 oz. and is becoming more active. Also, he has started sleeping through the night this week - Yay for that!

Here are some pictures from our recent activities.




Joshua has learned a few new tricks in the last couple weeks. He can now scoot in a circle on the floor. He can't roll over yet, but he can roll onto his side. He's also learned to kick himself over the Boppy if we put him on it for tummy time. He can also sit in his Bumbo chair. It's amazing to watch him develop and change every day.

More pictures from Ohio

Here are some more farmy pictures from Ohio. Does he not look too cute in his little overalls! Suzette and E.J.'s house was incredible. We did sleep in an Ohio State themed bedroom, but we looked past such things and had a wonderful visit. Yes, mom and I are wearing the same shirt. It's a bit of a long story, but Suzette got a kick out of it...which was the goal :).

Trips to Ohio...and Sam's Club

We've had a fun couple of weeks. We had a good Memorial Day weekend hanging out at home. We had Eric & JB over for dinner Saturday night and Mark, Traci, Greg & Marci over for lunch Monday. Here's a few shots of Andy and Joshua enjoying the holiday.














































We also took Joshua's first trip to Sam's Club with me, my Mom and Aunt Beth. He did great. Grammie even offered to get him whatever treats he wanted, so he filled his cart with candy and headed for the checkout...just kidding, the candy was for work, but I think she would have bought it for him if he could have figured out how to ask :). The first trip to Sam's was followed by his first trip to Raising Cane's. Needless to say, we got my fill of fried food for the week. There's also a picture of Joshua trying to stay awake in his car seat...then losing the battle...again.










































































Last weekend we went to visit Suzette, E.J. and Emily Croll...some hay convention buddies from Nortern Ohio. Anyone been to Oak Harbor, OH? I thought not. It's a tiny farm town, but we got to see their new house, and they got to see Joshua. Joshua was absolutely an angel, start to finish. He was a great traveller (but we did use the drive 1.5 hours, stop 1.5 hour plan, so I don't thing that will go over well with Andy when we head to Destin in July). He slept great even in a strange place (he slept from 9:30pm to 5:00am Saturday night!), and he did not have one fussy time the entire visit. We kept warning Suzette about his fussy time...but he kept proving us wrong. We have some cute pictures of Joshua in his overalls with the big tractor, but they are on my mom's camera and will have to follow later. Suzette will be coming to the lake in late July, so we look forward to seeing her again soon.
