Halloween 2008

Josh with his friends Sam & Elizabeth trick-or-treating at our Apartment Complex.  

Josh had fun trick-or-treating with his friends.  He always wanted to eat the candy that he got at each house, but I usually didn't let him and tried to encourage him to put it in his basket.  We'd get to the next home and he'd put the candy from the last house into Elizabeth's bag and get a new one and wanted to eat it.  It was funny, he ended up with less candy this way and Elizabeth ended up with a little more.  We did get some of his candy back.  

October 2008

John, Josh, and I went on a couple of his residency interviews together.  Our first stop was Peoria, IL.  That night we all got sick and we didn't sleep more than a few hours in the hotel, since Josh didn't sleep and he just roamed around the room all night.  The next day John woke up without a voice.  All his interviews John just whispered and you could hardly understand him even when he whispered.  After John finished his interviews we headed to Indianapolis, Indiana to visit our friends John & Mel and their daughters (Hailey & Kate).  On our way their we found out that their entire family was sick too.  We had a great time although we were all under the weather.  John did get his voice back a little for his Indiana interview, thank goodness.

Here is a picture of Josh and Kate reading a book together.

Our visit to John & Mel's a year ago.  Hailey and Josh have changed so much since then.

September 2008

I know that I'm still a good month behind in blogging.  Mostly because I think it is fun to reminisce and because it usually takes me about a month to finally download pictures from my camera.  

For the month of September John did a sub-internship at the U of U.  We were so lucky to stay with the Bailey family.  They were so nice and treated us as though we were family.  Josh immediately made a new best friend who also became a full-time baby sitter.  That friend was Tess (a white Labrador).  He still asks for Tess all the time.  Poor kid, Josh may never have a pet of his own, but he sure loved having a dog for a month.
