Growing Up

Well, as much as I would like to stop it, Kimsey and Joshua continue to grow up. Kimsey and I made a deal in the hospital when she was born, that she would never grow up....needless to say, she has not held up her end of the deal. Today, I took Joshua into Santa Fe for a haircut. He did very well, and tonight, as I covered him up to keep him warm through the night, he looked older. In some ways, he was still my baby boy in a crib with footie pjs, but that face, it is beginning to look so old and grown up. Here are some pics so you, too, can be with us on this fun, definately loud, and many times exhausting journey of growing up!







All Grown Up!

Josh's new things include saying, "Please!" and "Ball" and Kimsey has taught him to open the fridge...he can get his own milk! Now, if I can just teach him to close the fridge we'll be in business! He is also picking up sign language very well. Kimsey, is learning more also. Like I said, they are growing up fast!

(And if you look close, he is getting a new tooth on the bottom left)

When All Else Fails...Play!!!

Well...when you don't know what else to do with the snow, we suggest playing!!! We had a great time using the sleds and snow tube Santa brought Kimsey and Joshua. Andrew's sister, Lenora, also sent us an adult size sled, so we all had some great family fun! Joshua and Kimsey had a blast! I think Kimsey could stay out all day if Johsua would last with her! Don't worry, Joshua's sled has a buckle on it, so we just strapped him in, and sent him down! He held a look of fear until he reached the bottom, then he would bust out a big grin and laugh! Kimsey laughed all the way down, and then would tumble out of her tube and say, "Let's do it again!" Yes, we are learning how to play in the snow, and I must say it is quite fun!
