Several days ago, Joshua got in the pool with the neighbor boys -- and he wasn't the least bit intimidated! This is a "calm" picture, but most of the time, Joshua was splashing, right along with them!

It's become a habit of having popscicles on the back porch when we're done swimming -- and then he wears it on his face the rest of the day!

This picture is significant because it is the FIRST time I have EVER seen Joshua lay down on his own on the floor like this. The boy is ALWAYS on the move -- and I just had to take a picture!

These are some pics from the Fourth of July festivites in Lititz! Since Bryan leads the community band in the parade, Joshua and I waited for the parade by ourselves. Thank goodness there were free balloons -- "boon" -- a real lifesaver!

There he is in all his glory -- marching/leading the Lititz Community Band!

The band was in the front of the parade, so Daddy joined us for the rest of it. Here they are waving to the fire engines! (note -- last year, Joshua SCREAMED when the fire engines came past -- at least we didn't have that this year!)

So, once we got home from the parade, Joshua made a bee-line for the "ool" and I thought "Oh, he'll just put his hands in." Nope -- before I could stop him, he had jumped in -- shoes, shorts, diaper, and all! Now we know!

Since we can't show our family the ultrasound pics in person, I thought I'd put one on the blog. The tech said everything seems to be measuring right on target -- and the baby weighs 15 oz. Amazing! And no, we didn't find out the gender!

This was Bryan's "Graduation Luncheon" for completing his Masters. Joshua did his very best to make he was the center of attention -- as you can only imagine!

Dig in!

We got to have Uncle Mark and Aunt Ayuna stay with us this past week -- it was so much fun! Yesterday, we went to El Rodeo to eat -- and couldn't resist not trying on the sombreros! We will miss them!

Yep folks -- it's a lemon. The boy is crazy -- he LOVES lemons!

We went to Hershey's Chocolate World yesterday-- which has this ride thingy. As you can tell, Joshua wasn't quite sure what to think about everything -- it was pretty loud and dark!

Mowing the grass, sidewalk, or whever we happen to walk!
