Grandma and Grandpa Meet Alyssa...

Grandma and Grandpa made the trek north to Seattle to meet Alyssa a couple weeks after she was born.  During that visit Joshua assigned them new names... Ga-Ga and Pa-Pa.  And that is how they will now forever be known!

New Computer!

As those of you who Skype with us already know, Joshua loves to play with our computers.  So we decided to give him his own computer for his birthday.  Here are a couple pictures of him playing with his new computer.  We're a little worried he won't have the dexterity and fine motor skills to learn how to type...

Birthday Party in the Park...

We took Joshua to the park to celebrate his birthday.  Heather made some cupcakes and we had our own little party.  Here are some of the pictures!

Gook lookin' cupcakes, Mom!


Morning before the party...


Ready to go!


Sweet party!


Alyssa had a nice time, too...


Playing ball... lots of ball...


















Think it was a little cold out there?!


Happy Birthday, dear Joshua...


Make a wish!


Mmmmmm... good work, Mom!


Milk and cupcakes... what more could you ask for?


What a great birthday!


Here are a few pictures from our local park on a warmer fall day around Joshua's birthday...
