It finally happened . . . 3 weeks ago!

Yes, after much waiting and wiggling Josh lost his first tooth! He was so excited because the tooth fairy brings silver dollars! What?!? I was not very pleased at the classmate who taught him that tidbit. The tooth fairy had to find a bank that was open on a Saturday afternoon to make sure he wasn't disappointed. But it was worth it and he was even more excited when he lost his second one just a few days later! Now his top tooth is loose too--poor kid really won't be able to eat any corn on the cob this summer.

Spring Break Skiing

So, to start the massive posting of old pictures . . . Actually, these were just taken in March during Spring Break. I really wanted to take Josh skiing this season but wasn't sure if he was ready. So when Aunt Ashley invited us to go to Breckenridge with her family so cousin Kyle and Josh could learn together, I jumped at the chance. It was a rough morning that included me trying to teach Josh on my own, a trip to ski school which was closed, a desperate shot at private lessons, and an afternoon learning from Uncle David (Smith). I went on a few runs, and by the time I came back Josh couldn't wait to show me what he could do on the t-bar. Thank you, David! Whatever you did worked wonders and Josh can't wait to go again (because "skiing is AWESOME!"--Josh).

The First Post

Oh, the pressure of the first blog! Such a need to write something deep and profound. Yeah, that ain't gonna happen. I make no promises of inspiration or enlightenment. I only want to share pictures of the greatest boys on earth. Joshua and Jacob are wonderful kids who truly are my joy. I hope these posts bring a little bit of happiness to you.
