Air Show

It was too warm for the jacket this afternoon but Joshua had to take a picture in this jacket going to the air show. Plus, it was a gift from our Aunt Kacky who lives in GA so she would only be able to see him using this cuteness via picture.

We all enjoyed the air show. Joshua loved pointing and waving at the "panes."

Whew, that was a summary of Matt's time off of work and our adventures. Matt is back to work tomorrow but he is doing an elective in anesthesia right now and his schedule is awesome! It is going to be a great week.

Trunk-or-Treat

We've got a runner on our hands

Joshua had a lot of fun trunk-or-treating and even ate some candy. He has had a very deprived life of candy so he was thrilled. :-) Unfortunately, we didn't get any pics to prove it.

Going to the Weese

Joshua loves to ask to go to the weese. He says wee the entire way down the slide. He LOVES to slide. Anyway, his word for the park is the weese. He will bring me the keys and say weese please. It took me a little while to figure out the weese was the park. His invented word makes me smile and usually earns this cutie a trip to the park.

Pumpkin Fun

Next on the plan for having fun with dad was a local nursery to get a pumpkin. There was a cute little maze set-up for little ones.

We got a big pumpkin and a little pumpkin. Joshua was checking out his little pumpkin all afternoon.

Time for carving and everyone was able to help

Beach Trip

We returned from SC on Saturday to Matt who was ready for us to be home and had big plans for us. He had taken 3 days of leave for my birthday. Wednesday we took off for the beach. It was a nice drive and we thought the beach was beautiful. Our hotel room had a beach view and Matt and I enjoyed hanging out on the balcony playing cards and enjoying the view while Joshua got his hours of zzz's.


Joshua was okay with the water until the sand kept shifting under his feet. He wasn't too happy. He did love running down the hard-packed sand from mom and dad.

We went to HEB for a delicious cupcake to enjoy for my b-day. We also ate some delicious seafood at a waterfront restaurant. We just had a great time exploring a new area. The downside of this adventure was the fever Joshua started running on this trip. We spent the evening/night taking care of Joshua. That's real romance right?

Joshua ended up sleeping with us. Poor sick boy!

Updates

Well I hate when I get behind in blogging because then I feel like I owe my 2-3 readers a massive recap which seems daunting and hard to remember what has even happened. I don't have the energy for it but I do want to post something so I will get back on track.

Matt just finished up 2 months of internal medicine which was intense. However, I am pleased with myself because I adjusted and we all survived. We are making some great friends here in Texas. I enjoyed playgroup, lunch group, and the medical/military wives group that I joined. There is always an option of something to do here in San Antonio. Of course, I am also happy to stay home and play with my little boy.

Speaking of my little guy, he is just that a little guy definitely not a baby anymore. He will be 18 months soon. He loves to run, climb on anything and everything, walk backwards, spin in circles, splash in the bath, play in the shower, make funny faces for us to copy, open the fridge, try to open the door, and play at the "wee" or the playground. He loves to slide by himself and swing. He will repeat anything we say to him but has a few words he likes to use on his own such as hi, bye, mama, dada, please, milk, teeth, cup, eat, more, bowl, keys, car, animal sounds, and our family members all by name. He only signs thank you. He does so many sweet things these days he basically melts my heart, makes me laugh, and keeps me on my toes.

We just returned from a trip to SC. It was wonderful to see my family and Matt's family. I was able to see some of my friends (not all which is sad but there just wasn't time for it all). The weather was amazing and just felt nice to be "home." Joshua loved all of the attention. He also loved playing the piano at Nana's and PopPop's as he calls them. He loved playing with the cats and dogs at both grandparents houses. He gave the dogs several bonus treats during his stay and also learned a new word "hush." He was only using it on the dogs but he may have told me to hush today. I'm not quite sure. He has gained some new tricks and definitely increased his ratings among his fans (aunts, uncle, and grandparents.)

We are happy to be home with Matt and looking forward to his month on pain management. He got home on Friday at 4 or so he reported. Hoping for that to continue.
