Potty Training

Joseph has not been a big fan of potty training. However, all is not lost. We were putting some laundry away the other day and when I came into his room he showed me that he had found a much better use for his big boy pants.

"See, it fits perfectly!"

"Maybe I will start a new trend...soon you will see all the preschoolers wearing them this way!"

Christmas in West Virginia 2007

I am finally getting around to posting some pictures from our Christmas in West Virginia Trip. We had such a wonderful time visiting with family. The day after Christmas we were able to visit with Mark's Aunts Dorothy, Helen and Aggie. We then went over to Cousin Greg's and Cheryl's house. We made lots of memories that we will always cherish.

Joseph sitting with his new cousin, Hailee. He is in heaven!

Playing and singing with Hailee.

Joseph never wavered with his request from Santa..."goggles and a chainsaw". Thank goodness Santa came through. He wasted no time finding his first casuality... Grandma's Christmas tree.

Well, it is a little "Charlie Brownish", but we carried on the tradition we started last year of having birthday cake for Jesus! Maybe next year we will graduate to a cupcake.

Joseph loved playing with all of his cousins, Cody, Austin and Hunter. He already misses them so much.

Pure Joy! Joseph getting his hands on the train controls at Cousin Greg's house.

Three generations of train lovers.

Joseph found a new hero! Cousin Greg teaching Joseph about the trains.

Open Wide!

Joseph had his first visit with the dentist.

While he was very excited (We practiced for many weeks), he didn't quite know what to make of everything.

He was a champ though and let the dental hygenist clean, floss and polish all of his teeth!

Yeah! No Cavities!

Joseph was very proud of himself. When he got to pick out a prize for being such a big boy he picked a big, black, plastic spider. All Boy, through and through!
