Children's Museum

On Tuesday, Marcus and Mommy went on a date to the Children's Museum. Usually, Daddy gets the honors. This time, he stayed home with Josie.

Marcus was excited to show me the Curious George exhibit. We stayed there for hours. Amazingly, we were in the museum for 4 hours and never made it to the Dinosaur exhibit. I think that's a first!

Playing with the wind machine.

The finished product.

While we were playing, we ran into a friend from church. This is Marcus and Julian playing with the robots. They had a lot of fun playing while mommy got to talk to Julian's mommy, Beth.

Good friends, looking for the next adventure.

More Josie Pics...Finally

I (Heather) finally learned how to post on the blog! This is my first attempt at updating pictures. Hope you like them as much as we do.


I love this picture! Marcus still thinks his baby sister is pretty cool. He is always saying things like "Awwww, cute little thing." I can tell she's going to love him, too. She has smiled at him a few times. Of course, the smiles don't stay long enough to find the camera.

Marcus and cousin Macee took a break from some serious playing to have a photo op with the newest family member. Macee is thrilled that the girls outnumber the boys 4 to 3, now.

Just chillin' with one of her new toys.

Josie has been screaming more then we would like, lately. We've been experimenting with different formulas to find something that agrees with her belly. In the meantime, I discovered that this is her favorite position when she is fussy. The left hand supports her belly and chest while right hand pats her bottom. Weird, I know, but I'll do whatever keeps her happy for 15 minutes at a time! We've also had some success holding her in a Snugli, and turning on the hairdryer. Babies are such complex little creatures.

All dressed up for company. We had a little tour of the grandparents this past weekend. Josie had to look her best! Anyway that's the excuse I used for putting a bow and a pair of shoes on my 3 week old. :)
