Two Year Portraits

I am finally getting Joshua's two year pictures up onto his website. I feel like I am slacking lately.

Fun on the Gate

Joshua and Daddy like to go out and feed the animals and then close the gate. Well, this is what happens just about every single day when it comes time to close the gate, so I grabbed the camera and got him having his fun time. I realized that he has a "screamy" laugh and it brings me back to the first time we caught him laughing on video and everyone mentioned the screams mixed in with the laughs.

Joshua's Room

After Aunt Sissy and Uncle John left I had to do some re-arranging of Joshua's room to fit his new ball pit into his room and I needed to hang up the wall hanging that Aunt Sissy sewed for him as well as the comforter and owl pillow for his bed.

Enjoying The Snow

Well, we got our annual day of snow last week. I know, I know...it's taking forever to get this posted. Other things have been going on and I haven't wanted to write much.
Anyway, we got about two inches of snow here in Elgin. I bundled Joshua all up to go out and play. Some people probably feel I was excessive, but with the wind chill it felt like 16 degrees out rather than the 26 degrees it was. Besides that, why send my kid out in just a sweatshirt and risk him getting sick. Joshua has been really healthy and it's probably because I take precautions like that all of the time. So he went out in his warm Carhart jacket, gloves, boots, and a hat (besides the one on the jacket). He had so much fun. I tried to get him to make a snow angel, but he wouldn't do it for me and I wasn't about to lay down and show him how.
So, here are some pictures of the snow day we had.
