Corn Maze!

For the second year in a row, we were able to go to the  Corn Maze with our friends Josh and Tabatha. Last year we both had an infant in a Baby Bjorn....this year we had roaming toddlers and they had a new little baby. Amazing how quickly time flies and families grow.....

Josiah was fascinated by the animals and thought running his hands through the "corn" stalks made the coolest sound of all time. After about 5 minutes of wandering through the maze, he decided it was best to be held and avoid the exhaustion of walking....smart kid....tired parents :)

This year my favorite part was the toddler play ground (a new addition!) The bounce house was a blast for the boys and Josiah discovered his love for going down fast slides all on his own (that's my boy!) His adventurous spirit and fearlessness always amazes me....and makes me anxious for all of the roller coaster rides in our future...woohoo!

Most of all, I loved watching Josiah discover, ponder, and experience new and exciting things....

Finger Painting Fun

This summer I was lucky enough to get to spend some quality time with one of my beautiful nieces. The last time I saw her she was just learning to read, in Kindergarten, and now she's nearly in middle school! We didn't have a bunch of time, but boy did  we have fun. She loved playing with Josiah and carrying him everywhere.

Here was one of our adventures....

See you next time, sweetheart....

Nights of Lights

So, pretty much I seem to have fallen off the face of the earth (or  at least the world wide web!) So much has happen since my last  post...so many memories enjoyed but not recorded. I tempted to try to recap, but let's just start with today and then maybe someday soon I can post a few "make up" stories....I'll see what I can do.

We had a great morning helping out and visiting over at my mom's new house in  Palatka (only 35 minutes away! Woohoo!) We picked oranges, chased dogs, and  Brian tackled some house projects. Josiah decided that he did not need a nap and would rather blow "raspberries" on my face to make me laugh! Boys can be so silly. He finally fell asleep at 4pm...needless to say, bedtime was pushed back a bit.

Tonight we headed out to Nights of Lights. This was the first year that Brian, Josiah and I were able to do this together.  It was short and sweet. We got there about 20 minutes before the lights got turned on, listened to some music (in the sprinkling rain) and then had some treats at Markland house. Brian and I enjoyed the delicious brownies, while Josiah drooled over blueberries...and then squished one in his stroller. Josiah loved seeing all the horses walking down the street. Really glad we went...We got to see some friends too, which is always fun.
