Goodbye to Monterey!!!

Mike passed his Chinese proficiency test in August and we were told we would be moving a few weeks later! It happened a lot faster than expected! We were sad to leave all of our friends in Monterey- though not sad to leave the cold weather! We decided to have one last hurrah with our good friends the Tolman's. We went to Disneyland and San Diego the weekend we took off for Texas! It was such a fun trip. We rode several of the rides and saw the most amazing fireworks show! We were worried about Joshua being scared in the Haunted Mansion- but he fell asleep!!! He was so good the whole day and finally passed out in Mike's arms while we waited for the Peter Pan ride. We had such a great time and will miss the Tolman's very much!!!!

Joshua's 1st Birthday- July 10, 2007

Joshua's first year flew by! We had such a fun time on his birthday! Mom made him blueberry pancakes for breakfast. For dinner, we had pizza and cake and ice cream. We gave him a pretty big piece of cake thinking he could just pick at it, but he ate the whole thing! After dinner we opened presents and went to bed a little late. It was so much fun celebrating!

Ryan's Wedding

In August, Joshua and I traveled back to NC for Ryan and Meagan's wedding! It was beautiful! We are so happy for them! It was so fun to be together as a family again- I can't believe all of us siblings are so growed up!

Catchin up!

We are finally catching up! The last post we put up was in May- so we aren't going to be able to cover everything- but here are some major events from the last few months!

Busy Bee

And So Are the Days of Our Lives...

This is a common sight these days as Joshua has been teething again for the past month. He went from sleeping all night to waking again sometime between 2 and 3 and he won't go back to sleep on his own. As much as we love to cuddle- we are hoping this stage ends soon!

Messy Boy!
