Balls, balls and more balls

Joseph has really developed a passion for balls. In the top you can see Joseph's glee at the biggest "ball" he's ever seen! He has a lot of fun playing with these things with daddy!

Much Better Friends

A week ago the three of us went over to Scott and Courtney's

house to babysit their Stephen and Josiah. Joseph's

getting along with them pretty well now and Stephen was

a pretty good babysitter himself while they were watching DVDs!

"I will not be ignored!"

We were trying to catch some extra sleep one morning, but Joseph was having none of it!

Family Reunion of the Little Thoutenhoofds

Joseph finally gets to play with his cousins,
Scott and Courtney's Stephen and Josiah.
These play sessions aren't always peaceful, but
hopefully they'll be good friends by the time
these guys take off. When they meet again,
these three are going to be trying to communicate
with each other in Arabic, Korean and English!
Quite the United Nations family we have here!

Flying Fingers

The camera can't keep up as Joseph again gives
expression to his musical passion.

Good Singing Dude!

Our friend David decided to sing a little song for Joseph.
As you can see by Joseph's right hand, he approved!

Berry Season

Our first berry picking session as a family didn't
get us much. The field was pretty picked over, but
we got half a pail. Maybe Joseph can help next year!
