Sleepy heads

Seth went to bed early tonight because of a late night yesterday...apparently he wasn't the only one who needed extra sleep.

Washington DC

Dan had a conference in Washington DC and so we used frequent flyer tickets so that Josiah and I could join him.  Dan was only with us for one afternoon and an evening, beyond that Josiah and I ventured out on our own and we had a great time seeing and experiencing so many different places from our nations history.

Though we couldn't take pictures inside the White House, I'm so glad we got a tour before congress voted to close tours of it.

Overall, we had a blast!  Warmer weather would have been great, but quality time with Josiah was a huge blessing and hopefully it was a trip he will never forget...I know I won't!

He's a good big brother

Without being asked to, Josiah read to Seth for a while before bed.  Those boys sure are sweet...most of the time. ;)

A lunch datedate

Going out to lunch with this little man is always entertaining, plus he's a pretty cute date. :-) He has lots of stories and if I'm honest, sometimes when we're at home I don't take enough time to listen and at a restaurant I can't get up to clean or work while he eats...I need to just sit and listen.  Now I need to work on that when we're at home!

Sneaky!

The sneaky little brother strikes again.  After Josiah fell asleep, Seth crawled into his bed with him.  He may rascally, but he's also cuddly.  Thankfully, Josiah has a very soft place in his heart for his little brother and he doesn't mind this sneaky trick, but it is a little cramped and a bit surprising in the morning. :-)

Snow day!

Since moving in with us over 7 months ago I had told our foster daughter that we would get drifts of snow that would be taller than her.  She had a hard time believing me...until now. :-)

There was no school today and we spent the entire morning outside clearing the snow and playing in it.  What a great day!

Daddy - Daughter Dance

A fun night of quality time with her daddy!  She looks forward to it each year and I love how she adores her daddy.
