Outside with the Aunts

Josiah did lots of playing outside with Aunt Hannah and Aunt Rachel while they were here, despite the heat (the highs are around 105-112 these days). Thankfully we have some nice shade in the front yard in the late afternoon. Josiah doesn't seem to notice the heat too much, though--he just loves being outside and free!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Hannah, for the beautiful photography!

 

Family Picture

To the few readers of this blog: I'm sorry for the dearth of posts these last few weeks! We've been busy with family visiting (my mom and sisters, and then Jeremy's sister and her husband) lately. I hope to post some pictures from June soon, but meanwhile, here's a rare picture--one of all three of us together! My sister Hannah took this at a wedding we went to in Prescott, AZ. It doesn't look like Arizona, does it?

Ducks!

Last week our neighbor got irrigation, and a pair of ducks turned up in her yard! We took Josiah over to look at the duckies, and he was enthralled. Jeremy brought some old bread to throw to them. Josiah wanted to join in the snack-time, though, and popped a few pieces into his mouth (including one he had already thrown into the water for the ducks). These ducks let Josiah get quite close to them (closer than we adults could get). He loved feeding them, chasing them, seeing them paddle, and joining them in the water himself.
