Fall Fun

Barry took these pictures of his little helper while raking leaves on Monday. Josh loves his batman 4 wheeler and runs to the garage to get it every time we are outside.... he even tried to open the garage door at Grammy & Poppi's to get it!

Life has been busy

A cowboy has got to ride even when he is sick!

Boy, it has been a long time since I blogged! My sister got tired of seeing me not update my blog and did a "guest post" the last time. I have gotten back into the swing of working and things are going fine in the new job with the old company... but boy do I miss Josh during the day! I must drive my coworkers crazy between all the pictures of him on my desk and all I talk about is things that he did! Josh turned 18 months old this week and went for his 18 month checkup at the Doctor yesterday. He weighs a wopping 23 pounds and is 32 inches tall!

Josh's First Trip to Disney

We had a wonderful visit with Josh, Jodi and Mom. Josh enjoyed his first trip to Disney and Uncle Patrick and I (Aunt Jill) really enjoyed being with Josh. As you can see in the first picture Josh is already having career aspirations!Unfortunately, their trip was cut short as Jonah(one of David & Heather's twins) was hospitalized and they left a couple of days early to be with Jonah, Noah, David and Heather. The good news is Jonah is doing better and was released from the hospital on Tuesday. Please keep Jonah and the family in your thoughts and prayers. We love you Josh and miss you already. Uncle Patrick still wants to know when you can go on the plane yourself to come and see us!!

Strong Museum of Play

Today we went to Rochester to Strong Museum of Play. We had a great time and Josh enjoyed himself(but as Patrick would say.... when doesn't Josh enjoy himself!)


Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?

We had a fun weekend! Saturday we went to Burlington, Ontario to a party at Barry's friend Daryl and his fiance Donna's house and on Sunday we went to the Zoo with Grammy and Poppy.

My little Drummer Boy

On Friday, a package arrived from Aunt Jill and Uncle Patrick...... just what every boy needs a drum set! Josh loves it and last night performed for us.... he knew I was taking his picture and was really hamming it up!

Wordless Wednesday!

Josh was so tired he climbed on the couch and fell asleep sitting up!

The last week has been a whirlwind of activity in our family. My twin sister Jill and her boyfriend Patrick came to visit from Florida and their visit was much too short! We enjoyed the 4th of July at my parents house and Josh loved the fireworks! We also spent quite a few days at Anna's pool swimming and also at the Buffalo Launch Club for my cousin Brian's Graduation party.

Jill and Pat went home yesterday morning and we miss them already!

Aunt Sandy and Josh
My little Devil!

Barry's sister Sandy came over on Saturday for a little visit. She's lives outside of Guelph, Ontario. Josh was quite entertaining and kept her smiling. Later, he tired himself out and sat down on the couch next to Daddy and cuddled with Daddy and went to sleep!

Josh enjoying his Elmo Chair

I have 2 job interviews this week so hopefully something will pan out soon, although I wish I could continue being a SAHM! I am loving being home with my boy and spending 24/7 with him!

Ok Jill as requested, I am updating my blog!

Grammy and Poppy bought Josh a playhouse, so tonight we went over to their house to get it and ended up spending the evening there ... helping Poppy mulch the backyard and getting very dirty playing in the flower beds and playing with Lexi.

Barry ran in his first half marathon (13.1 miles) today and did great! There were about 3,000 runners and he finished 18th in his age group and 325th overall! I am so proud of him!

Wonderful Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day today. My son and Hubby bought me roses and we had a nice brunch at the Buffalo Launch Club. We also visited my Grandma's grave.

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

You are my strongest ally and one of my best friends. You have been there for me through the worst times of my life and listened, counseled and loved me. You have been there to share in my triumphs. You are my rock and my confidant and I don't know what I would do without you.

I hope that you realize that even when I take out my frustration on you, it is because you are the one I know will understand.

I am happy that you are able to celebrate your 2nd Mother's Day as a Grandmother.

I love you!
