Labor Day Weekend

We decided to take it easy and stay home for Labor Day weekend. Although the weather wasn't great, we were able to make it to the park and play in the grass for awhile. Here are some of the pictures...

A whole park and it's the camera bag that brings the smiles!

Look Mom... no hands!!
Playing in the grass... with the camera bag of course...

Hugs for Dad

More headbumps!

Hmmmm... can giraffe breathe under blankets?

Teeter totter with Mom!

And what happens if I don't hang on?

First Haircut!!

A couple of weeks ago we decided it was time for Joshua to have a haircut. We went to great lengths to take him to a place that caters to young kids, but he was still terrified despite all our efforts!! Here are a few of the pictures...

Here's a before shot... bit of a curl when it gets long!

So sad!! Look at those tears!

Say goodbye to the curly locks!

Ahhhh, yogurt melts... good for what ails you!

I'm going to be needing more of those melts...

Is that a smile?

At least I got to ride in a cool firetruck!!

Nine months old and already driving...

Getting close!

She saved me!!

Quite the handsome boy!!

What a difference a haircut makes!

Hey Joshua, where will Notre Dame finish this season?

You got it!!

Spaghetti time!

Jugando en la Casa!

Here are some pictures of Joshua playing with all of his toys at home!! We've added a few new ones to the mix!

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go...

Check out my new ride!

These paparazzi are killing me!

I've got two teeth on the top and two on the bottom... more to come!

Sweet smiles...

Look at my new table!!

I love it!!

Can you believe they make me do the laundry, too?!

The Zoo!!

Mimi and Uncle Thomas spent a week with us earlier this month. It was great to have them here again!! Here are some pictures from their day at the zoo!

Mimi, Uncle Thomas, and Joshua at the Woodland Park Zoo!

Looks like one of the monkeys escaped... which one is it?

Mom and Joshua at the zoo!

Sixth time's a charm... turns out those elephants are VERY distracting!

Must have been some interesting animals!

Thanks for not feeding me to the animals!

What a view!

Summertime at Greenlake!

This is one of Joshua's favorite parks in Seattle. It's about a mile from our house. There is a huge lake to walk around and swim in. There's also a wading pool for the kids. Here are some pictures...

Hmmmm... can giraffe swim?

Have you seen my yellow cup yet?

This hat keeps me in the shade!

This is Sophie, my giraffe...

Other kids can do some amazing things!

Don't look at me!

This was a plastic ball before it met Joshua...

Cute!

Nothing like a wading pool on a hot day!

Let me think... how am I going to get this pool back to my house?
