4 months old and randoms

Little Dena was 4 months old on November 24, which was our Thanksgiving holiday. We traveled south to my mom's side of the family for a wonderful meal and fellowship. Dena decided she was not going to nap for me so several of the ladies took turns holding and rocking and my Aunt was able to get her to sleep for about 30 minutes.

 Joshua has been increasing his vocabulary by the day! He now tells me to "listen to Joshua" when I tell him to "listen to mommy". While that is all cute for a time, you realize the human nature of these kids showing up so early and resisting obedience. We love him just the same and thank the Lord for his presence among us. Our lives would not be the same without either of these kids.


Dena's new thing

 Joshua decided to try out the exersaucer

Joshua loves to go into the basement and open up the boxes of games and play with the pieces.. 


Fun times with cousin Marvin



That little tongue

Jolena and Marvin had a baby girl at the end of October...

Jimmy going night night

Joshua poured his own milk...



"Go running mommy? Go running?"


This happens quite frequently now that mommy has another child to take care of and daddy has to work

 What I walk into after a nap


Uncle Dan's motorcycle helmet and gloves.. this boy LOVES uncle Dan's bike!
(no worries, he has only sat on the bike while parked.. no riding it just yet!)



Using baby Dena as a pillow

The first thing he wants to do when Dena wakes up from a sleep is hold her and give her a hug and kiss


She is on the move



One morning, Joshua decided to pour not only his own bowl of cereal but also his daddy's bowl of cereal with milk..let's just say he needed more cereal to finish the milk. This was all done while I was caring for Dena in the other room and was oblivious to this. There's a first for everything!




Here you go Auntie Ish!
