Here is Joshua giving his grin that will one day (I am afraid) woo the ladies.
Almost bald is beautiful.
Unfortunately, our family has been sick for the past week. Dave came down with a cold first and then Joshua. Like most babies, Joshua hated being congested so Dave went and got this humidifier. Mr. Dragon blows steam out the top. I guess if you have to have one, it might as well be fun right?!?
Sometimes after Dave gets home, we take an evening stroll around the neighborhood.
Joshua is usually quite chill and checking out the world.
Auntie Megan's Mom, Louise came into town to visit her daughter for Mothers Day. Joshua and I were able to meet them in Alameda for lunch. We had a really fun time chatting it up. Like mother, like daughter in that Joshua loved Louise and proceeded right off to sleep in her lap.
On Saturday afternoon, Joshua and I hung out at home while Dave had a boys day with Todd and Kevin. Todd and Melissa will be delivering twins within a week to hopefully 3-4 weeks, so the guys wanted to have a little time together before things get super crazy for the Gottshalls.
Joshua posing on his three month birthday.
It was very nice that on Mother's Day morning, I woke up to pretty much this exact facial expression. I felt Joshua moving and looked to see my wide-eyed happy son lying next to me.
The raised eyebrows represent his look of intense interest.
Daddy ran to get special coffee and a scone for me while I fed Joshua. That was the start of several surprises from my boys.

Joshua was thrilled to be back "under the sea" as he has been too congested in the preceding days to tolerate being flat under his activity gym.
We decided it was time to wear one of the many pairs of shoes this kid has. I guess more appropriately, these are sock keepers.
I was met with some nice cards and presents upon getting out of my 20 minute shower. What a treat.
Dave got me these beautiful flowers and a lovely card. Joshua got me a Joshua Radin CD since they share the same name and a cute card. My parents sent a portable digital photo frame and a nice card.
Dave (and Joshua according to Dave) planned a great picnic at Lafayette Reservoir. He made a chicken salad with green beans, potatoes, plain yogurt and horseradish. We also had salami, pesto cheese and a Mediterranean salad. We opened a bottle of chardonnay that we had purchased together at a winery in El Dorado county a while back. It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed the almost 3 mile walk around the reservoir.
We found a table away from the trail which was really nice.
The latest family picture.
My evening ended with a nice back massage and a bath.
I hope all the Moms reading this had a lovely day and felt spoiled too!!

Happy 3 Month birthday Joshua! This is a nice milestone. Can't wait to visit when everyone is feeling much better.
Cute hair Lisette! It's been years since you've looked like that. Guess you could say that motherhood agrees with you and makes you look younger. ;)
