Is It Still Summer?

What happened to July? We certainly did not go anywhere new and exciting this Summer, unlike the past three years. Joseph's illness and subsequent hospital stay way back in March, along with other illnesses here and there, and a couple of medical appointments, pretty much devoured my PTO at work. But it's August. And with this new month, I have my newly-replenished PTO minus the six hours or so that I already owe. I wish that this coming year, we actually get to spend our paid days-off on being relaxed, refreshed and entertained.

So what has Joseph been doing?


Pretty much this. All day. Almost everyday.
Or this.

You get the picture. He has sort of neglected his Neopets, skipped out on his Poptropica adventures, and instead waddled his way to Club Penguin.

That's his penguin on the right, and mine on the left. Of course, whatever Joseph plays, Mommy plays, too. The kink in my neck testifies to that.

And once in a while, he plays with his toys.

And even manages to catch a movie. We talked him into seeing Toy Story 3. We all liked it a lot.

And for the rest of the Summer, and way beyond it, Joseph (and his Dad) will just have to accept the fact that Mommy will take pictures, no matter what.
