Coloring Fun

When Joshua & I were grocery shopping today, I enjoyed chatting with another mom (there's no such thing as a stranger). Apparently, her daughter was coloring in the lines by 18 months. I hadn't even tried coloring with Joshua yet since I thought he would eat the crayons. I sat with him on the floor of the garage today and colored with him! I only needed to mention drawing on paper, not eating the crayons a couple of times before he got the hang of it. Joshua also likes putting crayons back into the box. He's a born organizer.

As you can imagine, I'm saving his first picture!

Yeah, Toilet Paper!

I left the bathroom door open for just a minute, while I went to the kitchen. When I returned, Joshua was gleefully unrolling the toilet paper roll. He had such a marvelous smile, I ran for the camera to capture the moment before stopping him from further unrolling. He is so much fun!

Camping Trip Pictures

We had another great camping trip "down home"-- to some family land near Shades State Park. There is no substitute for the special family time while camping. We talk, read, play cornhole, hike, practice archery, sit around a campfire,look at the stars at night, play guitar and sing... Joshua adores the outdoors, just like us. He played more with sticks, acorns, and leaves than his toys! After one hike, I spotted a hollowed out tree, so we took pictures with Joshua in front of it. The mornings were a little chilly, so he didn't mind wearing the adorable hat.
