Joseph is 5!

How did this happen? My baby is five years old and ready to go to kindergarten. Joseph, we are so glad you joined our family. I love your fun personality and flair for the dramatic, your energy and sense of humor, and your loving spirit. What will I do when you grow up and don't call me "my love" anymore? And I hope we always share lots of "sweecwets" (secrets). Thanks for making me laugh every day and giving me lots of kisses and "tuddles" (cuddles).

You and your cousin Lauryn were born just a few weeks apart. So cute together!

You and your doting big sister Aubrey.

Eating your first birthday cake.

With cousin Lauryn - both age 2.

At the zoo with your favorite buddy - big brother Brandon, who was 13 when you were born.

Bailey loves to read you stories.

At Disneyworld, age 2 1/2.

You love to make wacky faces for pictures!

For several months you wore your full Sunday suit all day, every day, everywhere. You called yourself "secret agent super spy guy."
