Josh's First Christmas

Merry Christmas! We went to Kristy's mom's house for the 23rd-24th. Here is a picture of Josh with Grammy and Ron.


They gave him a beautiful toy box. Unfortunately, the bear was a little scary!


Josh got to spend time with his Grandpa Mel and Cheryl on the 23rd. Sorry- we forgot to take the camera there!




While we were in Fort Wayne, Josh's eye started running. We took him to a doctor there on the 23rd to have him diagnosed with an infected tear duct. We began eye drops. By late afternoon Christmas Eve, he had a temperature of 102.5. It turns out that Josh had a double ear infection. His temperature did not drop until the 28th. He missed all of the Lawrance Christmas parties. At the pediatrician, we were referred to an ear, nose, throat doctor. This was his 4th or 5th ear infection since August or September. That appointment is Jan 6.

Despite him not feeling well, we got an adorable picture on Christmas morning- Enjoy!

Breakfast at Bethlehem

On Saturday morning, Josh and Kristy had the privilege of being in East 91st Street Christian Church's children's program, Breakfast in Bethlehem. There were two performances.

After each, families could get their pictures taken with the "actors". Josh did great on stage. He even laid in the manger a

little. When he got uncomfortable there, I was able to pick him up. Unfortunately for the second performance photo op, he had had it. We should have used a stunt double doll for those pictures. Those poor families with a screaming baby Jesus. He was exhausted and slept while we ran two errands and the whole way home.

Daddy wanted his picture taken with the "stars".
