Toothless

Last month Abigail finally lost her first tooth. I'm pretty sure she was one of the last ones in her class to do it, but she was excited just the same. She is growing up way too fast!

Josiah got to pick which cubby hole he wanted to use at preschool. He picked the same one as Abigail had two years ago. : )

This year we had a small bday at home on Sept 1st. His actual birthday, but then we went to Bonky's over the weekend to celebrate with the bigger family. What fun!

So he's been 4 for over a month now, but I still need to share these pics. Abigail worked so hard for weeks on various crafts and gifts for Josiah's bday. She hid them up in her bunkbed. Here he is proudly wearing the birthday crown she made him.

New water bottle

These water bottles are so cool. They hang around your neck and have a button that pops open the lid. Abigail and Samuel have them with their names on them. We will never find one with our big man's name on it. But I did find one with dinosaurs. Even better! He loves it!

For Josiah's birthday I thought it'd be fun to invite a few of his buddies to the zoo with us for the day. Here they are, from left to right, Josh, Josiah, and John.

Thanks to Ashely and Chrissy Josiah is now the proud owner of a potato gun. When Samuel laid down for his nap he and I made this cool target.
