Mom and Josh smile after throwing a party for our friends Brian and Julie who are adopting a beautiful baby boy from Russia
Smiling as we celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary at Brennar's on the Bayou--lovely! (Side note: Before leaving for our date, I was giving Joshua a hug--he started playing with my necklace and one of my earrings so I took them off. I realized when we got home from our date that I had spent the entire evening missing my necklace and only wearing one earring! Oh, how things change when you become a mom!)
After all the fun we had in Grammy and Grandpa's pool, we bought a small one from HEB for our yard. Not nearly as spacious, but Joshua doesn't seem to mind. :)
Check out Joshua's new bathtub--when you touch the beak, it quacks! Josh loves it!
Josh spends some time with Miss Hailey.
Joshua and Bella chew on Mr. Giraffe. We loved the way they shared the fun.
