Bears Training Camp

Last Friday, my brother, Josiah and I went to Bears training camp. I was so excited to go because I was not sure when we would be able to go. I was able to see my favorite players John Tait (76) and Adrian Peterson (29). We were also able to see Devin Hester who showed up at the last 15 minutes of practice.

Meeting new friends

Yesterday I decided to take Josiah for a ride to Tinley. We wanted to stop at St. Coletta's to see some of the people that I used to work with. We really enjoyed seeing all of them and he was quite the star. Then we went over to Carol's house since she hasn't been able to see him yet. Josh was super cute and gave him one of his toys. It's so crazy that I was able to be a part of Carol's pregnancies and now she gets to meet my son!! How exciting!! Then we headed to Babies R Us to spend our gift cards. Josiah had done very well up until the ride home. I was able to "enjoy" about 45 minutes of him screaming. How fun.

Here are some pictures. The first two are my former co-workers Tracy and Ondria and then there is Carol and Josh.

Random Pictures

Here are some random pictures of Josiah!!

Visiting the Aunts

After we went to Aurora on Monday we stopped at my parents and Josiah was able to visit his Aunt Lynne, Aunt Marlene and Uncle Chuck.

Kruesie's 2nd Birthday

On Saturday we celebrated Kruesie's 2nd birthday (a little bit early. His real birthday is August 11, but Lisa is due that day with their second child). He did a great job opening his presents. He also met Josiah for the first time. He kept pointing to him and saying "baby". But near the end when we were leaving, Lisa had him say Josiah and he said "Siah". It was super cute. Here are some pictures from the day. Mom and dad bought him the sandbox and he received 2 basketball hoops. The picture of the 3 cousins didn't turn out all that well, but that's what happens when you have 3 kids under 2--with 2 more on the way!!

Tim's Birthday

On Monday, we celebrated Tim's birthday with a trip to Aurora. We intended to stop at the historic district, but there wasn't very much to see. Then we headed to Phillips Park Zoo which was nice and also saw the sunken gardens. We had lunch at Walter Payton's Roundhouse and then went to his little museum which was super neat to see all of his stuff and then we went to the outlet malls. It was a very nice relaxing day to celebrate.

Outfits

Here are some of the outfits that Josiah has received from people

The Boss'

Yesterday we went to my grandma's so that Josiah could meet Aunt Beth, Aunt Kathy, Kimberly, Sarah and Sue. We had a great time meeting them. Josiah even got to share with his cousin Sarah his umbilical cord coming off (how gross!!) We are so thankful that is off now and that he can take a tub bath.

Baby Shower

On Saturday we had another baby shower with the Schaap's and the Krooswyk's. Josiah enjoyed meeting many of his family members. We were blessed with many presents including many outfits, a car seat, double stroller and a car seat. We are so thankful for all of the support that we have received.

The Kamp's

The Kamp's came over last week to meet Josiah for the first time. He did really well for most of the time that they were over and then got a little hungry near the end. But he really enjoyed meeting them and we were happy that they were able to come out.

Schaap pictures continued

The Schaap Family

Yesterday we went to Joel & Beth's after church and were able to introduce Josiah to the Schaap family. He did great being passed around to so many different people. We also enjoyed spending time with the family.
