Joseph turned 4
Joseph awoke unhappy this morning because his presents were not wrapped and waiting for him at the table. However, it wasn't long before he was all smiles. He is the proud owner of a Playmobil Western Town and fire helicopter. It took a little deliberation, but he decided that his new cow's name is "Milkshake".
Joseph is still a decided thumb sucker/bellybutton fiddler.
When he wants to convince you to do something, instead of asking he will put up his finger and say, "Aha!!!" which will be followed by something like, "You forgot to take me to the ice cream parlor today!"
For the past year, he has worn a hand-me-down "Awaska" shirt to death; probably 5 of 7 days he had ttat shirt on. This week, the moose and the bear bush pilots were retired to my "to-be-a-quilt" pile with holes in it. And amazingly, I have no pictures of him in it.
Joseph's favorite activity is coloring. He will lie on the living room floor and carefully fill in any coloring book picture with side by side lines. As his favorite color to use is black, this sometimes makes it hard to know what the picture started as.
Joseph taught himself to write his name, notable since he learned this earliest of all the kids.
Joseph's sense of comedic timing is the best of all the kids, and we often laugh at the funny things he says. Case in point: Yesterday I said something to Bill about "moves" and Joseph piped in with, "I got moves like Jagger?" He knows Justin Bieber but I don't think he knows Mick Jagger.

Odds and ends

| Maria in front of the USS Yorktown |
 |
| Cecilia was especially excited by the "vendor" machines |
 |
| Dominic and I got to see the berthing quarters |
 |
| Look at the relaxed and happy faces of the unplugged, living it up outside, pre-teens! |
 |
| Charles' valet service |
 |
| Dominic's first time driving the cart |
