Baby bath time


What a handsome fellow!! Joshua has advanced from the infant bath tub to the blow up tub. Sarah and Jacob both used this tub and it's great for the sitting up, but sometimes still falling over stage. He is getting so big...way too fast! He's already 8 months old. He's eating solids...you can tell from the orange tint of skin on his nose that he loves his carrots/sweet potatoes and squash. All my kids had the orange nose stage too. :) He has two teeth that you can see in htis pic and is literally loved to death by Sarah and Jacob. They fight over who gets to sit by or hold the baby. :) We sure love him!

Christmas Joy










We had an awesome dinner with the Marcum families. Dewanna took these pictures and I love how she captures the special moments: a big hug, a tickle moment, and a 2 year old admiring the Christmas tree (with brownie crumbs all over his face :)) Being with family is the Christmas spirit...loving each other and making memories!
