Joshua Dean Horton

Well, he's here! Okay, he's been here for almost two months now. Yes, I've been bad once again at keeping my blog current!! Oh well, I've been having too much fun at home with Emma and the new addition to our family.

Here is Joshua Dean Horton!!


Josh was born May 18th. He has been so much fun. Now he is starting to smile more and is getting so big!!! We've already made a road trip to Cedar Rapids for a wedding, visited with family, went on a mini-vacation to the river, and this weekend we're going camping for the first time this summer!!

Getting used to a boy in the family has been fun. I've been told that boys are so much different than girls, so I'm looking forward to finding out if that is true!! So far there isn't much difference except diaper changes have to be quicker so as not to get peed on!! Sleep is something we've missed since Josh came into our lives, but it's getting better. I keep telling myself that one of these days he's going to surprise us and sleep through the night, but not yet!!

Today Josh and Emma start a new daycare and Mommy is back to work!! While I am truly going to miss being with the kids, I am also ready for more of a routine. And Emma is ready for some kid interaction!!! She starts Kindergarten at the end of August, so she is excited to spend the rest of the summer playing all day long with new friends!!

I'll try to post more pictures after our first camping adventure. Should be an interesting weekend, so stay tuned!!!

Here are a few more pictures of Joshua...enjoy!
