Future President?

Or, future exhibit designer? Who knows...but it was fun to tour around the mock oval office at the Presidential Experience exhibit at Denver's Democratic National Convention.


Included in the exhibit were mock exhibits of not just the oval office but also Air Force One, complete with a former Reagan aide.

Hail to Josiah!

Future Olympic Hopeful?

Elfie: Watch this move by the newcomer, Josiah. Can you believe this guy...just 3 months old and already lifting his head and looking around.

Tim: That's right, Elfie. You would never know that this guy was 5 weeks early.
It's an Olympic moment. ;)


Today was Josiah's first workout at "The Little Gym," a franchise gym that teaches motor skills, dance, gymnastics, karate, and sports skills to children ages 4 months to 12 years. Josiah was doing inverted somersaults (with a little spot), the log roll (shown below), tummy time, and stretching movements. The class ends with a cute little song and lots of clapping and cheering. Kinda like an Olympic moment...ok, that may be a stretch, but even 3 month olds can dream.

Go Big Joe!

Happy Birthday, Dad!







Josiah helps Dad celebrate his birthday, Aug. 20th, at Washington Park.





While Dad played a mean game of volleyball with his team, Josiah got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa.

Feed Me And No One Gets Hurt

Brunch at the Country Buffet! While Josiah's options are still limited to Similac or Similac, the rest of the family gets to peruse aisle after aisle of yummy breakfast treats. If the conversation happens to extend into lunchtime, then, oh well...we get to go another round at the buffet table full of yummy lunch grub!

Having been gone on vacation for a couple weeks, Anastasia finally gets to share a chair with her little bro and tell him all about her trip back east.

Got Spinach?

He's strong to the finish cause he eats his spinach!

Over the past two months, Josiah has been a busy boy; growing up and out, and other very important baby tasks, including play time with cousins Jackson and Spencer.

He is now 14 lbs and 22 inches and maintains a healthy appetite of 6-7 oz of spinach (aka formula) every 4-5 hours.

Josiah, the Growing Boy...toot toot!

Outdoor Adventure

Josiah is up for just about anything that his car seat or frontpack can handle. Picnicing creekside at the Eldorado Canyon Visitor Center or hiking the "easy" trail in the canyon make for a fun outdoor adventure.

Being Josiah's first hike, we took it easy and safe and had great fun identifying the flora and fauna.

Making a Splash


Josiah's first venture into the pool was a splash! The experience seemed to go well, with no crying or even a wimper. Josiah's face just seemed to say, "Well... this is new."

Even though we barely got our toes wet, Josiah is off to a good start at the pool.







The cousins, on the other hand, are veterans of the slide; Spencer even got in a game of hoops with the older kids. Way to get in the game, Spence!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

No peanuts and cracker jack for Josiah just yet, but we all had a great time root, root, rooting for the Rockies. Josiah got his first taste of the ballpark atmosphere with the help of cousins Jackson and Spencer and Grandma and Grandpa.


Before we know it, Josiah will be big enough to put on his Cardinal colors and play a round of hot box with the boys. That is, if the Rockies aren't playing. :)

Love to hang out with Grandpa Buka!

He makes funny faces.
