Joshua's First Birthday

These pictures (sorry!--not in order from the weekend) are for Grammy and Grandpa Wallace and Great-Grandma Nash! We love you all, missed you this weekend at the party, and can't wait to celebrate with you in Dallas in just a few days! Joshua and Mommy unwrap gifts after the party.

Wonderful Uncle Doonald and Aunt Angela--thanks for coming up with sweet Abi to celebrate this weekend!

The McGown Ladies and Joshua

Thanks so much for these super cute pajamas, Grammy and Grandpa!

I had a lot of fun wearing them tonight on my un-birthday.

Joshua enjoys his first cake...

We are thankful for all the lovely family and friends who joined us this weekend to celebrate.

(This is for you, Grammy and Grandpa, even though it's not from the birthday weekend! Thanks for helping us plant a vegetable garden. We are having lots of fun eating fresh veggies!)

And finally, enjoy Joshua's dance moves. Needless to say, he loves his present from Uncle Doonald and Aunt Angela.

Joshua the Lion

For the Fall Festival at church this year, we enjoyed great times with Joshua the Lion, family, and dear friends. Halloween hasn't been this fun in years!

The boys--Brian, Joshua the Lion, Luke the Monkey, and "Uncle" Jason

Sorry for the two month delay...

We are sorry two months have gone by without a post. Like all good Houstonians these days, we'll blame our slow pace and delay on Ike. :)

As you can see Joshua is growing up so fast. It is a blessing to be his parents. Enjoy these pictures and videos. As you can see, Joshua is now quite the mobile little monkey...

Playing in the tupperware cabinet (the only one he's allowed to open)

One of Josh's favorite games is when we make a big tunnel out of the couch pillows...he loves to crawl and try to find us...

Joshua's christening (Sept. 6th)
Poor Abi--we think this was right after Joshua accidentally hit her in the face.
Happy Grandparents :)

9 month appointment--Joshua passed the developmental tests by chewing on all the tools.
