Quick Pics

It's been a while since we posted some pics so we wanted to do a quick overview of the past month.  It's been so cold and snowy that there haven't been too many good picture situations.  Joshua did get to visit Grandma and Grandpa last weekend.  It was a wonderful visit as Joshua got to attend his first IU basketball game and play in Grandpa's remodeled indoor playland.  Joshua loved the classic hockey slot hockey game and the remote control cars.  He also enjoyed playing with Andy's (and some of Bess's) old toys like legos.

Jack and Joshua have a more modern game challenge.

So Joshua has two college options.  .playing basketball at Vandy or IU.

Happy New Year

Josh and Jack at the Camden Aquarium.  Here they saw sharks, hippos, seals, penguins, lots of fish.  The adults were very impressed too.

A few of the "Please touch" exhibits included starfish, rays . .and here a shark! 

Bring on the Olympics. . . 2028.  Does this qualify for summer or winter Olympics

A Joshua size "stowman".   

Joshua brought in the new year with a fun day at the aquarium and then a fireworks show.  It was a fun family way to end the year.  2011 is sure to be filled with new adventures, lots of trains, Dora and fun with family.

Christmas 2010

Joshua must have been a very good boy this year as Santa was very generous.  He got lots of little gifts and a really cool John Deere tractor truck.  It has a bulldozer/front loader on it.  (Daddy named the truck MaryAnne)  Daddy is looking forward to having Joshua help with the yard work this spring and summer.  Hopefully Joshua and MaryAnne can dig holes in just one day!  In fact, we could use it today to plow the snow.



Joshua and PopPop set up one of his new toys.




Joshua and Jack play Wii. 



Visit from Grandma and Grandpa

Josh has a wonderful visit from Grandma and Grandpa this week.  It was a very nice break.  We don't think he wore them out too much.

Joshua loves the "Griswald" house.  These two homes have  overdone the lights and yard ornaments.  

Josh and Grandma loved playing games and going puzzles this week.

Christmas Eve

Joshua and Jack provide the entertainment on Christmas' eve with a rousing rendition of "Frosty the Snowman".  Josh
and Jack made the snowmen too.  

The three cousins.  Tough to get a good picture of three wild and crazy boys!

Josh and Jack with another song.

Josh and his Santa snowmen headgear. 

Santa stopped by and dropped off some really cool stuff for Joshua.  We can't wait to see his reactions tomorrow morning!

Tryouts for "Iron Chef" are coming to Joshua's school next week.  He's all about the toppings for his pizza.

Post-Santa Claus meeting.  Joshua was all hyped-up on candy cane.  He was a really good boy for Santa and even asked for "DINOSAURS!"  I wonder if Santa was listening...mmm.

Josh as his school recital.  They sang four songs including "Twinkle, Twinkle"  and "Jingle Bells".

Josh and Jack in Battle Royale ping pong.  Jack has the height advantage but Josh has a wicked serve.  

Reunion with Leone

Josh and Leone had their first reunion at Leone's 2nd birthday party.  It is so nice that he's now so close.  We look forward to having Leone and Teddy down to Cherry Hill sometime soon. 



Boy Band in the making.  Here's Joshua, Sebastien (Leone's cousin), Leone (on the right) and then Harrison joins in at the end.  This was not straged by the parents.  Boys just love to make loud noises.

Josh is quite the guest.  He also "helped" Leone open the presents.



The three cousins hanging out together.  Josh and Jack are really good hiders for hide-n-seek.
