Happy Birthday Bekah!

Our niece Rebekah turned 7 today, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her! We hope she had a wonderful day and we look forward to celebrating it with her soon!

Hospital Pictures

When we gave birth to Josiah--the hospital provided a digital camera to take pictures with in addition to our own. The nurse took pictures with one camera and Tim took pictures with one. We just received the CD of pictures last week--almost 3 months after Josiah was born. We can't believe how much he has grown since then. They also have some of my favorite pictures--Josiah on the scale showing how much he weighed, our first picture as a family together in the OR--so here they are. (Unfortunately they also took pictures of me laying on the table in the operating room--yuck!!)

Favorite Pictures of Josiah

Here are some of our favorites. The one picture looks like he is playing the air guitar. He also LOVES the stuffed dog that Uncle Chuck and Aunt Marlene gave him.

Sarah's volleyball game

Tonight we went to my cousin Sarah's volleyball game. She did a great job and even scored a couple of points. They also won the game!! Afterwards we went to Applebee's with Rob & Lisa and Grandpa and Grandma.

Family Birthday Party

Today we went to Aunt Kathy's to celebrate a handful of birthdays (including mine, Sarah's, Rachel's and Austin's) We enjoyed seeing everyone again and were able to take a picture with the girl cousin's kids (Beth-Brady, me-Josiah and Lisa-Austin)

Babysitting Austin

On Saturday we ended up watching Austin while Rob and Lisa went to a wedding in Wisconsin. We had a great time and Austin is soo much fun with Josiah. He loves to watch him and protect him. What a cutie!! He also loves to play with his blankets. We really had a great time. Tim was very happy too because the Cubs clinched

Small Group--Football--Baker's Square

Tonight we headed out to Orland to go to a small group at church. Josiah went in the nursery for the first time and did a great job. We are studying the book No Perfect People and it was really good to meet with our group.

Afterwards we headed out to CCHS to watch their football game. My cousin, Dan M. plays for the varsity team. We arrived at the second half and they were shutting out the other team, but it was a great time and we had fun with the family. Unfortunately we forgot the camera in the car :(

Then we called Tim's parents because they were at the Steve Green concert and we ended up going out to Baker's Square which was fun. (Even though we got scolded by someone from our church for having Josiah out too late :( )
