Shoes mama

Joe is obsessed with shoes right now. The little man has such wide feet that we only have two pair that fit hit, but he certainly has a mind of his own as to which pair he will wear each day. Aunt Deb got this pair, but they are currently too big for him to really wear. That didn't seem to stop him the other night!

First of the Halloween season

Indian Joe had a wonderful time, even in the blustery wind, at Grandma and Papa's house for their Halloween Harvest Party. I had my hands full keeping track of him throughout the day, so these are the only good pictures I got (with Bella and Brie; with Grandma Lori).

Now if we can keep the headdress on for the remaining Halloween parties we will be in good shape!

Family addition

We are having the ultrasound on September 30th, so if everyone is lucky we will tell you if Joe is getting a brother or sister!!!!

I will not lie, probably will not post again until after October 3rd when my parents have their big Halloween party. We should have some great photos from that.

All grown up

So, please don't call the police on us! Joe figured out this weekend how to climb into the car and even the Jeep all by himself if the door is open. He finds it hysterical that he gets to sit in the seat all by himself. In the top picture he was pretending to put the car in drive while he devilishly laughed at Mike standing in the side door.

The bottom picture is from Labor Day weekend in Gaylord. The first time we gave Joe corn on the cob he would not touch it. Clearly he cannot get enough of it now!

Minnesota Trip

We went to Minnesota back in July, but hey- who is counting! Had a wonderful, but super short trip, to see our friends. Here are some photos at the zoo, Joe and Genna playing and on the carousel- which Joe LOVED!

Looking forward to spending more time with the Topness' next trip!

My oh my

I have no idea where the time has gone since the start of June- but here I am FINALLY posting again. Going to cheat on the photos and combine some posts. Basically we have been running all over the place, working, working on the house up north, and in Lansing - and somewhere in there trying to rest as this "having a baby thing" is slightly more exhausting with a toddler running around!

These pictures are from cousin Bella's birthday (the water park); cousin Ayden's birthday (the bikes); Joe saying his prayers; daddy and Joe napping!

Please enjoy!

Moving Day

This past weekend we all helped to move Grandma Laske into her new apartment. How wonderfully nice- I want to move in!

I am cheating as this picture was take a couple weeks ago in Merrill, but thought it would fit with the theme for this post.

Grandma did get moved in just fine. Joe did not actually help as he was in Merrill, but I know he was there in our minds as we got Grandma settled in to her new place.

Possible posts to come this weekend if the weather holds and we can get outside!
