| Thanksgiving: Joshua sitting alone (with some assistance) at Grandma Laughlin's house. A big deal at the time. |
| Joshua visits with Grandma at Extended Day. He's wearing a bunch of apples for the teachers (who provided the gift certificate that purchased the outfit in the first place). |
| Auntie Laura tries her hand at feeding Josh. Note the vintage diner-style highchair they borrowed for the occasion. |
| Cousins Ferrin and Kaileb mug for the camera after Thanksgiving dinner. Kaileb has so much energy, not even the camera can keep up. |

| Joshua tries a little rock in his daddy's old chair during a visit to Uncle Doug and Aunt Carol. |
| With cousin Ray around, it's almost like having a big brother. Ray helps Joshua learn the ons and offs of riding toys. |
| Cousin Simon and Aunt Carol enjoy a quiet moment after a long week of Christmas activities, family gatherings, and photo ops. |
| The cousins happily enjoy the company of their great-grandpa. |
| Ray took this picture. It's my favorite of the many artsy shots he took (although his study of a rush seat is a close second). Look at the way he framed the light green chair in the background to interact with Nacole's shirt. And his unconventionally close shot of his subject creates a lovely feeling of energetic intimacy . I'm telling you, the kid's got an eye. I'm thinking MOMA in another 20 years. |
