Monday was Joseph's 3rd birthday. We did a lot that day, but instead of writing a whole huge post, I'll just let the pictures tell the story.

In the morning I had to go get the dressings changed on my wisdom teeth (I ended up getting dry sockets), so after that Joe and I went to the grocery store to get doughnuts and chocolate milk.


Joe loves to get the doughnuts that are shaped like stars. I guess that's one way to learn your shapes. :)



Yumm.



He wanted to share his doughnuts with Anna, so we surprised her and Meredith in the morning. Of course, they were happy to eat the doughnuts with us.



It was a lot of fun to hang out with the Robertsons.



There is a pottery place at The Village in Winona Lake, so we went there to paint some stuff.



Joe chose a race car bank.



The artist hard at work.



Trying to decide what to paint.



Mom and Joe with our creations. We'll get the finished product back in about a week.







After painting we went to get some ice cream. And yes, this was before dinner, so none of us were very hungry afterwards.







Joe was talking about getting superman ice cream all week. And he didn't even know that we were doing this. He just loves that flavor. :)



The full and messy birthday boy!!


Happy Birthday Joseph!! We love you very much, and are very proud of the boy you are turning into. Sometimes you test our patience, but we wouldn't trade one day of having you with us. We love all of the personality that you have and how much you make us laugh. We can't wait to see the man you turn into. Keep loving God!! He loves you as much as we do. :) Love You!!
