What a great friend that Wesley is!!


Now this is the way to ride a trike!


Having a great time


How old are you?


Joshua catching Wesley at the bottom of the slide.  Pretty sure Wesley would have been just fine, but it's a nice gesture after all the rides he gave to Joshua!

Happy Birthday, Alyssa!  She made it through her first year in one piece despite our best efforts!!  Here are some pictures of how Alyssa Paige spent her first birthday...

It was a cold birthday morning!
