Watching Daddy Play Music

Dancing.......... And more dancing! The Groupies! Daddy, Uncle Luke, and Miss Josie Rose. Loving the great music. Jonas on stage! Daddy and Uncle Luke sound awesome!
Tonight the kids got to attend a Hog Roast in Corydon where Daddy played music. It was a great treat to see Daddy and Uncle Luke play! The kids had lots of fun jumping on big bouncy gyms while the band put the equipment up. We ate good food and made many friends. Once the band started, Jonas and Josie truly enjoyed themselves watching Daddy and Uncle Luke play some good music. They did plenty of dancing and cheered the band on! This is the first time Josie has seen her Daddy play music and the last time Jonas saw him play was when he was about three. What a great time they had! Below you can see a little dancing action by Jonas. Josie was too busy socializing to get in the video.

Good News At Josie's Doc Appointment

Josie at the Doc's office waiting for her name to be called. Oh...I have no pants on! Josie's X-ray of her hips. Lunch at Red Lobster. Josie waiting for our table. She loves to color while waiting for her food!
We had our next doctor's appointment with Josie's Orthopaedic Doctor today. We received good news at our last visit in April, so we were anxiously awaiting more good news. They took X-rays of Josie's hips again and as you can see I snaped a shot of the view on the computer. Dr. Jacks said that things were progressing. While she is not completely satisfied with the development, she feels confident that everything will continue to progress with NO surgery. Yea! So another good report. We still have a long way to go and we are still not completely in the clear, but at this point things are looking good. We celebrated the good news with mother daughter lunch at Red Lobster. Josie being the social bug she is made many friends during our lunch. Thanks to everyone for their concern, support, and prayers!!

Bounce Time At SIGS

A little hula hoop action. Could basketball be Josie's sport of choice? Or maybe a gymnast! Taking a little break! Josie and George giving kisses. What do I do next????? I know......jump in the foam blocks pit. Josie loves to climb into everything! Help me......I'm trapped in FUN! At the top of the big blow-up slide.
Josie and I headed to Southern Indiana Gymnastics School (SIGS) to have a little fun. It will also help Josie get a good workout now that she is not participating in physical therapy weekly anymore. We had such a great time. She loves the BIG room full of trampolines, balance beams, blow-up slides, balls, and just about everything imaginable for kids to have a fun time. We ran into Cousin Sam's friend George and his mommy, Emily, who is Aunt Mere's best friend. At the end of the session, Josie and George decided to express their friendship by a little innocent kiss. We had fun and hope to run into them at SIGS each week. We plan to keep Cousin Sam one day soon and take him along with us.

Welcoming Elliott Joseph into the World :)

Misty and the parents-to-be. The proud parents awaiting their 2nd child. Happy me wanting the baby to come NOW! Sweet Denise anxiously awaiting her 2nd grandchild. Lisa comforting her little sis! Finally, I get to hold baby Elliott. He must be flirting with me because he keeps staring into my eyes :) What a beautiful baby boy! Joe and Michelle with baby boy number two!
After two weeks of home bed rest and two weeks in the hospital on bed rest, Michelle went into labor at 37 & 1/2 weeks. I rushed to the hospital anxious for the delivery of the baby. We did not know the sex of the baby, so it was killing us all! Michelle looked so amazingly beautiful with her hair fixed and make-up on. She was such a trooper thru hours of labor. Finally, a beautiful baby boy was born at 3:20 AM on August 3rd weighing in at 8lbs 1oz and 20.5 inches long. His name is Elliott Joseph and he is a bald, beautiful baby. I am very partial to bald babies so all I wanted to do is kiss and rub his little head. Luke Bob now has a little brother to take care of. Congratulations to Joe, Michelle, Luke Bob, and all family members on the new addition to the family. The Powers Family is certainly happy and can't wait to spend time together with the kiddos.

Just A Good Day!

Jonas and daddy climbed a BIG tree at Grandma Rose & Pawpaw Orvil's. Way up high! Mawmaw Jane and Jonas. Pawpaw Tom getting love from Josie Rose. Jonas got a new Army hat & pins and Josie got a neat baby doll. Spending time with Dandaw and Pawpaw Van at the pool. Aunt Sissy and Uncle Luke spending time with us at the pool.
We started the day with a visit from Mawmaw Jane and Pawpaw Tom. They got Jonas a new Army hat with pins to place on his hat and vest and Josie got a really cool baby doll that talks about animals. We enjoyed our visit with them. Then we headed to Dandaw and Poppy's for a little swimming action. While the kids were in the pool with daddy, I took pics of Dandaw, Pawpaw Van, Aunt Sissy, and Uncle Luke. Aunt Claire and Uncle Dan showed up later. We also visited Mawmaw Rose and Pawpaw Orvil and sat in the backyard. Jonas and daddy climbed a big tree while Josie sat on the swing. It was such a great day!
