Florida Trip Pictures Part 1

We recently came back from 11 days in Florida.. It was beautiful weather down there! Coming back to 30degree F weather wasn't so nice, but these last few days are making up for it by warming up a bit with the sun shining. It has been beautiful in Grand Rapids as well. Hard to keep the little guy in doors when he sees the sunshine.

In the airplane, on our flight to Florida

Watching the airplane we just exited preparing for the next flight


Opening the closing the window shades and saying "Hi airplane!" everytime he opened them

Playing nicely at the condo provided for us

Sunshine in the morning!

Going for a walk to get a pool pass and check the place out


Decided the stroller wasn't doing what he wanted it to do so he left it.

Joshua and speed bumps... more to come with those!


Daddy & Joshua in the pool


"Hi Grandpa!"

Happy Birthday Joshua!!!

Today our wee man changes from a baby to a toddler.. at least that is what we are feeling! Can't believe he is 2 years old today! We have been greatly blessed with this fun loving, strong willed, flirty, spunky, shy boy. God has great plans for him and we are excited to see where the Lord leads him in his life. 

Here are some pictures of when he was less then a month old...











Ian has been saying words like "God, Jesus, Lord, Jesus saves" and having Joshua copy him. We know he is picking up so many words these past few weeks, he has become quite the talker!! He loves to sing, and runs around collecting our psalm books and handing them out only to take them back again after 2 verses just to hand them out again. 
A look through this past year at how Joshua has grown and developed... such good memories!






Chocolate face...



He HAD to have the tie on with that shirt..

At Great Granny's house in Scotland.. eating an orange

Goofing off with the 3 Aunties over in Scotland

Such precious memories! Makes us so sad when we see other parents chosing paths that cause harm to their kids. No matter how tough we had it (and he was a very difficult baby!!) we still love him with all our hearts and wouldn't change his personality one bit! He has put so much joy and life into our lives. Makes us look forward to this next pregnancy with excitement knowing each child God places in our arms and home has a purpose. Each life is precious in God's sight and precious in our eyes as well.

March 1st

It is the first of March and what do we get? Snow!!
The past couple days have given us spring fever a bit and waking up to snow this morning brought us back to reality. 




Here are some pictures of a snow fall we had last week.. we received about 8 inches from wednesday afternoon till thursday morning. Thats alot of snow in a 24 hour period!











Lets just say we are anticipating our trip down south to warmer weather!
