Things that made me laugh/smile lately....

1.  I posted this video on FB, but if you haven't seen it, I hope you will take a look now.  Joey is such a happy boy....most of the time.  However, he is also very sensitive.  When he gets in trouble or has to stop doing something he wants to do, we usually have tears.  He knows if he starts sobbing he has to sit in time out to collect himself with deep breaths.  About a month ago I noticed he would start laughing, instead of sobbing.   It wasn't his normal happy laugh, but more of a "I'm trying not to cry laugh."  Everytime I hear him laugh like this I can't help but crack up.  I caught it on video the other day!  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.


2. Genna is really into giving kisses lately.  The victim is often unexpected.  Beware little children if you are getting your diaper changed while Genna is nearby.  Joey and our little friend QC are often attacked with a wide open Genna kiss.  Not only is her kiss wet and slobbery, but it also means her entire face is on top of theirs.  I don't have a picture of what I just described, but I did capture one of her kissing her baby doll.

3.The other day I had to bring the car seats into the house because I was transferring them to a friends car.  While they were sitting in our living room Joey not only wanted to sit in it, but he also wanted me to buckle him in.  What a goofy toddler.

4. The other day I bought Genna these fake skinny Jeans.  They are so cute on her and I just had to share :)

5. We went to Red Robin on Saturday to celebrate Genna's first birthday and Cory finishing his written boards.  The kids each got a balloon.  When we got home they were having so much fun letting the balloon go so it would fly to the ceiling.  It was fun at first, but got a little old, so Cory tied some string to the original string.  The kids had a great time playing and even Genna could reach!



6. Our sweet girl turned the big O-N-E last Wednesday.  I took a few photos of her on her birthday while her brother was sleeping (such a challenge to capture a photo of her when her older brother is jumping in front of the camera).  This was one of my favorites. 

7. Cory finished his boards!! Such a huge relief.  However, we are not done yet.  In the next 4 months he has his Clinical boards, his 3 written parts of the Clinical boards, several exams from his classes, and lots of job searching and packing (which I will be doing a lot of).  Please continue to keep him in your prayers.  It is stressful time for us both, but we are relying on God's grace to make it through.
