Joshua was hamming it up for the camera. We are on the deck of the USS North Carolina in Wilmington, NC.

Joshua got a break from all of the traveling to go to a playground and have some fun.

Joshua had a blast at Kure Beach in North Carolina. We went there for vacation from Aug 4 to Aug. 10. This was his first experience at the ocean!!

Joshua and Aunt Laura were playing in the sand at Kure Beach.

We vacationed in North Carolina the first part of August. We had a very good time at the beach with Laura and visiting a couple of days with Linda and Kim. All pics of vacation are on Jackie's facebook.

Jeremy started football this month. His first game is this Saturday. He's pumped!!!! Jeremy and Mommy (Di) started back to school this week. Joshua is going to Grandma H's so we can get some mowing, etc. done this week. Had to take the camper in for some repairs and it's finally done so we will go get it this week and get it set back up. Also, having boat issues this week. It caught on fire last Sunday!! The mechanic thinks it was the voltage regulator that went bad and caused the fire. Thank goodness Mommy (Di) got it put out quickly!! But It should be ready this week. Expensive week!!

Can't believe Joshua will be 21 months in a week or so. He is talking a lot now. He uses sentences, but sometimes some of it is still mumble jumble!:-) He does say quite a few things that we can make out. He loves for us to read to him. We put storm windows on our screened in back porch to make it an all season room and Josh just loves to play out there. He's about 1" from riding his tricycle. He has the concept down, just not long enough legs!! He did very well on vacation. Jeremy and Josh both were very good for Jackie. She was a bit skeptical, but it ended up very good! But we decided we prefer to vacation with Di, rather than without her!!

Catch you all later!
