A Day At The Lake

We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at Whiskeytown Lake today with Ami and Phil.  We are so thankful for times like this with family and feel so blessed to be able to spend so much time with them lately.  Ashish was up to his eyeballs in studying for a big exam that will take place tomorrow so he sadly wasn't able to join us.  But we managed to have a great time soaking up the sun, playing in the sand, having a picnic lunch, swimming in the lake and Josiah even managed to take in a nap as well.  Ahhh the joys of summer...  Thanks for all of the help today, Ami and Phil!  We couldn't have done it without you!

Josiah's first lake experience...

Sand castle time!

I love Priya's proclamation at the end of this video, "I'm a good helper..."

Time to make some mochas!  Yum!

Ready for another dip in the lake.

Love my little boy!

Josiah is such a happy baby!  Always so full of smiles.

Josiah has been doing great sitting up over the past few weeks.  He has also been making all sorts of new sounds (that I've yet to capture on video).  He started saying "mama" about 3 weeks ago and has added "gaga", "baba" and "dada" to his repertoire.

Hmm...should I stay up and play or take a nap?...

Ahhh, the nap won out!

Gearing up for another round of swimming.

The happy couple.
