So Abigail was in a grumpy mood today, what's new? But anyway, she curled up on the couch with her Mimi and Bonky blanket and I told her she could chill for a bit. Josiah, being the ever so sensitive young man that he is, recognized that she was upset. He climbed up on the couch with her, and gave her a sweet little kiss.

Josiah has been potty training these last few weeks, and i've been a little scared to put him in underwear because of obvious reasons. Though I don't really believe in Pull-Ups, we went straight to underwear for Abigail and it was very successful. The last few days he has done so good with doing poopy in the potty that I thought he could move on up to underwear during the day. He is still my little man, but getting so big. And isn't he cute in his little undies!!!!

Ok, so I uploaded some pictures after dinner, but then realized I just had to add a few more, and this video of Josiah and his handy work. This is the shorter of the two videos I got. I like this one best because I think its funny he uses the speed square.

When I saw Abigail doing this today I thought she looked just like that episode of I Love Lucy where she stomps the grapes. One question, where's Ethel?

John is in the process of building the kids an awesome swing set. Last night after dinner he was sanding down some of the posts. Of course Josiah, being the all boy he is, wanted to give it a go. Here he is in action. He did so good, stayed right where he was supposed to, and helped Daddy out, for real. We think he may have a future here. Enjoy!

Big helper, big concentration

Josiah is so cute helping his Daddy sand, look at the tongue hanging out. It really does help I think.

Abigail helps too

The other day, when Josiah laid down for his nap, as is our custom Abigail and I did something fun before she then laid down. We decided to make letters out of playdough. Here is what she made, it only goes A-J as we ran out of playdough. She wanted me to take a picture of her good work, so here you go.

This is a new feature on the website that we use to post our pictures on the blog. So I thought i'd give it a try. This is a video of Abigail and Josiah after lunch one day, she is asking him where his various body parts are and he responds very enthusiastically. It was very cute, and I was amazed that they kept doing it even after I got the camera. So here it goes, hope it works!

Josiah has really been into squirt guns recently. But on this day he thought that wasn't nearly good enough, and got the hose. Look at his face, he is too excited to be soaking me. It was really hard to try to get the shot without getting the camera wet.

We got the kids a little pool last weekend and being over 90 here in Pittsburgh the last few days we've really logged the time out there. The kids have also really been into squirt guns recently too, especially Josiah. But here is Abigail trying to get me! AAAAAAA!!!!!

We kept waiting and waiting for the polar bear to jump in the water, but he just kept walking back and forth on the edge. Abigail really wanted to see him swim.

It seemed as though we got to see everything up close on this trip. This bear actually a few seconds later walked up to us at the glass and pressed it's nose right up to Abigail. It made her jump, but she really thought it was cool.

The zoo also has an aquarium with lots of really cool fish. It's pretty hard to get good pictures in there, but this is pretty sweet. After we left the zoo, she actually said that the fish were some of her favorite things.

Does the gorilla look like he's yawning to you? I think it does. Maybe he was bored with us.
