Charlie the iPhone

Joseph had only one big thing on this Christmas list, and Corey and I repeatedly said "Don't count on it." But through the power of child like faith a miracle occurred and he got one. (Thanks Nancy, he's loved it)


Sadly, with the addition of the iphone into our family (aka Charlie), Charlie and Joe hang out so much that these two pics represent almost all we see of Joe these days.


We miss you Joe! And Charlie has just about worn our his welcome, so we'll be rationing your screen time promptly, starting... hmm, I think we'll start tomorrow!!!! That gave Charlie and Joe a whole month from Joe's birthday to become acquainted. Now they know each other really well, so time for his non-electronic (aka human) family to become reacquainted with the first born.

(just kidding, it hasn't been that bad, although from how much his siblings complain about how unfair it is you'd think it was...) Our biggest complainer?


She's also the one who just happens to have Joe wrapped around her finger, so this lucky 2 year old usually gets her way. Her favorite app is Talking Tom. And I do admit that it came in super handy when Joe, Lily, and Sophia had to go in for their immunization shots. Lily had the whole clinic staff laughing as they hear Tom imitate her saying "Hey!! 'tupid cat!"

Tom kept Lily distracted until the shot was given, and then continued to do his duty and imitated her screaming cries as she recovered.
