Joshua is now 5 weeks and one day old!  The time is flying, and we are all having a blast.  Joshua smiles more and more every day and is "talking" or cooing all the time now as well.

He LOVES his big brothers Noah and Evan.  Whenever they are around, he listens to them and is always looking for them.  They love him too.

Josh and I still have a little under five weeks left of maternity leave together...it is going way too fast!  Noah and Evan still enjoy going to Grandma Mary and Grandpa Mike's house most of the weekdays.
 
Josh had his first trip to the zoo on Memorial Day, May 31st.  It was pretty hot, but he slept most of the time in a carrier that I wore.  Noah and Evan always like going to the zoo, but got pretty hot, tired, and hungry towards the end of the trip.

Well, we have officially started building a new house!  Our current house went on the market 5 days ago and has already been shown twice.  Our new house will be just about 3 minutes away from our current one, and will be ready by early November.  Brian and I have had several meetings to select and pick things out for the new house, which has been a ton of fun!  We are so thrilled that the boys are going to be able to grow up in the new house we are building, which is bigger and in my opinion, more kid friendly.

Yesterday, Noah and Evan played in the sprinkler for the first time.  Clare (one of their Godmothers) bought them a "wigglin' waterpillar" that attaches to the hose and sprays water everywhere.  They absolutely loved it!  They stayed outside playing with it for over an hour.  We were afraid they might not like it too much, and were pleasantly surprised!
