For the Love of Blackberries

It is blackberry picking season and since blackberries grow everywhere in the Northwest all we had to do was go behind our apartment to find some. While picking berries we discovered that Josiah loves them. The follow pictures will show you how much.

Josiah trying to climb the counter to get to the blackberries.

I moved them to the table so we could snack on them. Josiah is begging me for one.

He then decides to climb the chair to get to them.

He is so excited he can't hardly stand himself.

If I open my mouth wide enough maybe you could put 2 or 3 in at the same time

Fun Pics

Hello everyone!! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Josiah and I have been busy helping daddy around the student center. We just had a big work day to get the UCC organized and cleaned before the students come back. It looks so much better. People from the church helped put in two new doors, clean the kitchen, weed the flowers, trim the bushes, organize the rooms, and other clean jobs. We were grateful to have so many people from church to come and help. It would have taken us weeks to get done what they did in a day. School starts in a month. Please pray for this school year. Pray that God's spirit can be active in the UCC and on campus. We have a small group and it is only by God's power and creativity that we will be able to reach out to the campus in an affective way. Pray for faith to follow God's will for the UCC.

Now onto some fun pics. Here is a series of misc. pics of Josiah from the past couple of weeks. Hope you enjoy!!!

Josiah dancing to the music on his fire truck.

After days of looking we went over to a near by town to Target and found Josiah shoes that fit and had a flexible sole. He refused to walk in shoes that had a hard bottom. He loves these shoes. Now all I have to say is, "Let's put on your shoes," and he sits down and lifts his foot up in the air.

It is hard to believe that just a year ago we thought his other car seat was too big for him, but Josiah finally grew out it. He loves his new car seat because he can see out the front and watch what mommy and daddy are doing.

Hi daddy!

If you were here, daddy, we could play ball together instead of me playing by myself.

Port Orchard

This past week Josiah and I have been hanging out with the Benjamins in Port Orchard while Jason is in Memphis. Josiah and Kayli have been having fun playing together. Josiah is now standing on his own and walking around. He is still wobbly, but becoming more stable. Hope you enjoy these pictues of Josiah and Kayli playing.
