We went to camp for the long weekend! First time this year... it was good to get out of the city for a couple days. I was also excited about how Joshua would react to being there. I was really hoping he'd have fun. I'm sure he doesn't remember being there last summer.
Josh was really excited about throwing rocks in the river, and spashing around. We spent all morning down at the river on Saturday. After lunch and his nap, he wanted to go right back down! Sunday was pretty much the same thing... playing in the river. Grandma went shopping the weekend before, and picked up a bunch of outside toys to play with, too... A car to ride in, a fishing pole with magnetic fish... Joshua didn't know what to play with first!
It was a nice and relaxing weekend. I can't wait until we can go back up again.

Year To Date
May
*Warm weather! We took a walk on the South Side River Walk. We stopped at the Pretzel Shop and got some pretzel sandwiches, and ate them on the river bank first. It was a nice time. We walked from 18th St. down to 27th St. We let Joshua play in the water fountain outside of The Cheesecake Factory, in his diaper. He didn't like getting squirted much, but he loved the puddles! We found a giant Chess Game, too. The pieces were bigger than Joshua!
*With warm weather, comes the washing of cars in the driveway! Joshua thought it was more fun to splash in the bucket, than actually doing any washing!
*We dug out the Turtle pool! Joshua seems to like splashing alot. That will make for a fun summer!
*Mother's Day was quite busy! Hunter and Jacob both had First Communion Parties! At Hunter's, Joshua discovered digging in the dirt... it's a good thing we brought extra clothing! At Jacob's Joshua ran around chasing the other kids, and played with Jacob's trucks.
*I started hosting a weekly walk in South Park for our playgroup. We meet at the Children's Playground and play until all the moms get there, then walk 2 miles on the trails. It's a nice way to spend a couple hours in the morning.
*We went to the zoo, with our playgroup. It was warm, and sunny, and we had a great time! Joshua loved the aquarium again. He can say "fish" now. I'm thinking about getting him a fish bowl - but haven't figured out where to keep it safe from the cats!
April
*We celebrated Julia's birthday a few days late! It was fun to watch Joshua interacting with Elliana.
*Sitting on the Easter Bunny's lap didn't go as well as it did last year... The poor kid was traumatized!
*We went to Trax Farm for an Easter Egg Hunt with our playgroup - it was a bit cold (snow in April should be outlawed!).
*Easter morning was just like Christmas all over again! The Easter Bunny went a little overboard this year! We spent the day at Grandma and Grandpap's and then at Nana's. The Bunny left baskets at their houses, too!
*I had my first ultrasound... and Joshua is having a little SISTER in September! We're thrilled to have one of each, now!
*We went to Brooklynn's birthday.
*I had a birthday... but we won't talk about that.
*Scott and I took Joshua to South Park. The weather is finally warming up! Joshua LOVES the playground equipment! He's figuring out how to go down the slide on his own.
*I'm now watching Gregg AND Elli on Thursdays and Fridays... it's a bit hectic around here those days!
March
*The weather is starting to warm up, and we've actually been able to play outside a little bit!
*Julia and Derek welcomed their bundle of joy into the world on March 11. Elliana Hope Butterfield.
*We went to the zoo with our playgroup, and saw a presentation on penguins! They even let us pet one. I think I was more excited about it than Joshua was! He really liked the aquarium, though. He was mesmerized by all of the fish.
*Joshua and I went to the Aviary this month with our playgroup. Joshua REALLY loved the birds. It was a really nice afternoon!
February
*Joshua played in the snow for the first time!
*Julia had her baby shower for Elliana.
*We went to Ashtyn's 5th Birthday Party.
*Joshua and I joined a playgroup! It's called Modern Moms Pittsburgh. We go to play areas at local malls, playgroups at other members homes, and fun places like that. There is a lot planned for the coming months. We're excited to meet some other moms and kids from around Pittsburgh!
January
*We spent a lot of time recuperating from Joshua's First Christmas.
*I really wasn't feeling "right" this month. After a trip to the doctor, we found out why.... We'll be having another baby in September! The official due date is the 10th, but we all know how accurate THOSE are!
*Joshua's First Birthday was the 21st. We had a party at Grandma and Grandpaps house. A lot of family and friends came, and we had a good time. I made Joshua's "Smash cake" - it was Elmo!
