Odds, Ends, and Little Boys

Well, we've been working on slowly getting our house to order. One thing we have wanted for a long time now is a table. We've been using patio furniture for our kitchen, and it was a little too big for the eating area. Fortunately, my aunt told me she had my grandma's old table.

Talk about retro! It's kind of fun. It brings back a lot of memories! My mom actually had one a lot like it when we were little. So, now our house has all the furniture we need at the moment. Next project-getting light in the living room! My dad is an electronic engineer, so as soon as he has some free time, he's going to come help us out with that.

Now, our cute little baby boy. A new milestone! Joshua laughed for the first time May 30, 2009. When we shake his arms, he gets very excited. My dad decided one day he just wasn't going to give up until he got a laugh out of him. And it worked! It took a little while, but our little baby boy laughed! He's only laughed once since, but it thrills me and Matt.

Matt loves playing with his little boy. He sits Josh on his lap at the piano and plays music for him. Josh stares in fascination. Lately, Matt has been putting Josh on his shoulders and giving him piggyback rides. Josh grabs Matt's hair in a deathgrip, but he smiles so he must like it. Matt's such a cute daddy!
