Beach

This is one of my favorite pictures of Joseph at the beach.  He loves the waves!  He's become much more brave than he was when we arrived; almost a little too brave.

Hilton Head Vacation!

We have really been enjoying the beach, not looking forward to returning to the real world...

Wrightsville Beach

Joseph and I decided to go to the beach on our day off! We had a beautiful day there and encountered rain only on our drive home.


While there Joseph's new sand toys got plenty of breaking in, and are all ready for our trip to Hilton Head in July!! We had fun playing in the surf too! Joseph kept saying "Here comes the water" for each wave coming towards us, and "weeeee" when it hit us. We can't wait to go to the beach again!!!!



Dinner on the road for Joseph:

Sprinkler Fun!

The sod needed some water, it's been hot and dry here, so out came the sprinkler and Joseph. At first he didn't really want to go near it, but he warmed up to it quite quickly and was running around in no time. He really tried to catch the water in his mouth/hands, it was quite cute.

We see DC

Joe and I made it up to DC to see the city while Joseph had some quality time with G-ma and G-pa. While Joseph was checking out the trains in Ashland and eating ice cream we were taking the train into the city and eating sushi. We all enjoyed our weekend away!!




Us on the Segway tour:



Asian street festival. The Old Post Office:




Joseph playing with his new train set (while eating a snack):

Bubbles!!

This is what happens when you let the little guy play with the bodywash and have the jets on during tubby-time. WWWWWeeeeeeeee!

Mow-mow

Joseph LOVES helping daddy mow the lawn. Fortunately for him Joe likes the help!!

One last post for today...

Had to get Joseph a helmet for tricycle riding since he falls off and could really get hurt (see post regarding skinned knees). The helmet we got came with knee guards too! (had to get a photo!!)
Safety first...

WORM!

While removing the old pine straw put down by the builder we came across a wiggly little worm. At first Joseph didn't know what to think...



But the little guy warmed right up to the worm quickly...



Daddy and Joseph found wormy a new place to live in the woods, in a pile of old pine straw mulch.
