Trip to The Pas

Posted in thoughts at 6:19 pm by Melissa

At the end of October Josiah and I went on a road trip to The Pas, Manitoba. Janice came from Regina and picked us up and then we spent the night in Prince Albert with April. The next day the four of us drove the The Pas to see our friends Lori and Jacob. It was a lot of fun and we all had great visits. Josiah was spoiled rotten by his honorary aunties and tried all kinds of new things. He was a great traveler!

While we were there Lori took us hiking by, through, around, and over some very cool caves! Here is April being the climber in the group.

It was so much fun for the four of us to be together again!

Here is a picture of one tight squeeze! I thought that I would make it through with Josiah in the back pack, but I was wrong and had to back out. That was very difficult and I had to squat-walk backwards through a small opening to get out! It was so funny! There was a way to walk around so we could meet up with the rest of them. We could have done that to start with, but the tunnel was worth a try!

Jacob and Josiah were very patient with our crazy girl weekend and were good buddies by the end!

It was halloween on the day we came back home and Josiah dressed up like a bee. He really didn’t like the antenna, but did like all the attention and pictures!

He learned how to carve pumpkins with April and Lori. He was so helpful.

Fall colors

I am so far behind on posts that I thought I’d post some cute fall pictures I took with Emma when we were visiting at their house one evening.  The bushes at Lynn’s house were so pretty and matched Josiah’s coat!  He was about 9 months old in these pics.

A whole year of lion pics!

Posted in thoughts at 9:42 pm by Melissa

I still don’t have our new computer system in our house figured out enough to blog on my own, so the posts have been few and far between lately. I think I just about have it figured out so hopefully I’ll blog more this month. I am so far behind that I haven’t posted lion pictures of Josiah at 10, 11, or 12 months old. I thought today I’d do a pic from every month so you can see how much he’s grown. At his one year check up he was 24 pounds, 31 and a half inches tall. That puts him in the 95 percentile for height which I think is really funny! He must have got this from his Mom!

Josiah is a lucky boy to be born right after Christmas because he got to have Uncle Stephen here for both of his birthdays! These pictures are of Josiah and Stephen when Josiah was 3 days old and at one year old.
