A Lot of Life to Share, so Starting Again Now!!

Always thinking about posting here, but neglecting to do it.  Yesterday, Joshua clicked on the tab and saw the blog and watched some sweet videos from when he was 3 and 2 years old.  I realized it's been nearly 5 years since posting.  A lot of life has happened, so rather than try to catch up, I'm going to use this to capture more of the funny and great things Joshua does so we can be thankful and treasure every moment of this life.  He's a sweet and good boy.  We have lots and lots and lots of video and photos from the past 5 years....hope to post more as we move along. 

So, yesterday, he told me that there was a hula-hoop contest in gym class.  He won third and first.  Third for actual hula-hooping around the waist (first and second place went to Gaby and Claudia respectively) and his first place win was for the longest push of the hula hoop across the gym.  Pretty cool.  He's been learning to hula hoop for the last two years or so, honing his skills at the Baltimore City Farmers' Market during a few visits this past summer.   I reminded him that his achievements also mean he's the top hula hooping boy in the class!  

Joshua is a wonderful athlete, more to come on that.  And is doing so well in his school work.  An amazing, brave and courageous boy!

Here he is fishing at a nearby pond with Dave (Dave's foot) from this past summer too! His first outing and he caught 7!
