We're going to miss Joshua

 Joshua is off to Africa next month (see Going, Going, Ghana to your left).  We're going to miss him terribly.  (We'll miss Dave and Julie, too.  But you know how it is, the parents are afterthoughts.)

  The boys had so much fun together.  They really did play together nicely almost the entire time.  I think I can remember only two fights that had to be mediated, not bad for 3 full days of togetherness.

  We really enjoyed his visit.  He's a really fun, pleasant little guy with an infectious laugh.  I don't miss the noise, though.  Two boys makes 10x the noise of one.  We kept kicking the boys out to the backyard because the volume in the house was more than we could handle.
