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. 



Gobble, Gobble, Gobble

Joshua had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Harrisburg, PA.  We had a delicious meal prepared by Aunt Elaine.  The turkey was perfect and the side dishes were all a hit.  Joshua especially loved his dessert--a special Gingerbread man from MomMom.  He meticulously de-limbed the man before daddy delivered the death-blow head-removing bite.

(Ed. Note: A couple of the really nice videos we filmed on Thursday were filmed upside down.)

Jack and Joshua hide out.

Josh also had fun baking cookies with Mommy and Daddy.

Joshua and Thomas the Tank Engine

Joshua had a fun time meeting Thomas the Tank Engine.  He was very excited to meet Sir Topham Hat, all of Thomas' friends, and also to see the Strasburg Railroad museum.  

We promise that Josh was very excited to meet Sir Topham Hat and to tell him that Percy and Gordon are his favorite engines.

Mmm.  Hanging out on Sunday with some yummy banana muffins.  Josh was  a great sous-chef for mommy and an even better taste-tester.

Halloween 2010.

Mr. Care Bear.  We finally got Josh to wear his costume.  He was a big hit in the neighborhood as a very generous candy giver.

Josh loves the song "The Five Little Pumpkins".  This was his special Jack-o-lantern.

Helping Daddy with the leaves.  He is a great helper.

Joshua's portraits of Mommy and Daddy.  He did ALL of this himself with no help from Daddy ( I swear).  And he specifically picked the red hair for mommy and the eyebrows for daddy.

What an unhappy kid, eh?  He's very adventurous now at the playground!

Fun Weekend

What a fabulous weekend.  Josh got to celebrate Will's 4th birthday, enjoyed the awesome weather at the park, and went to music class with daddy.  What a fun, fun weekend.

Joshua and Mommy have fun in the train at Paws Farm.  Josh loved celebrating Will's birthday.

Moo-Moo.  Josh and Mommy with a funny pic.  Josh got to meet a pig, miniature horse, llama, and chickens.

Josh climbed up in this tree himself . .well not really.  But he loved being up so high.

Now that we've finished our improvements to the basement we're able to get lots of Joshua's fun toys out.  It's  great see his reactions to toys he hasn't seen or played with for a while.

Go IU Fight Fight Fight

Josh and grandma wrestle in the backyard.  It sure looks like Josh is having a good time, eh?

Josh with Jack and Luci Leonard (twins of Andy's friend).  It was nice to meet the kids and catch up with Sean and Heidi.
