We've had a busy summer. Mom finally made some more updates to my blog - thanks, Mom. We celebrated my Second Birthdy at Lakeside Amusement Park with my whole family; and took a really cool vacation to Mexico with my Aunties and Uncles. Enjoy - Love JoJo (formerly known as Joie...)

Having fun with Elmo and Friends

Auntie Di took me (and my mom and Mom~M0m) to see Elmo's Green Thumb. It was so much fun. Elmo, Grover, Abby Cadabby, and Zoe are my favorite Sesame Street friends.

I had to practice wearing Elmo and Grover the night before in Mom's "Joie Carrier" so I wouldn't lose them during the show.

They are such good babies.

Hi, Joie and Elmo fans!

Easter Fun

Joie, Mommy, and Auntie Di took a plane ride to visit Joie's cousins in Albuquerque. Our mission was to dye Easter Eggs, and play with Jakob, Jesse, and Justin.

Justin and Joie hugged each other tons.

This was a terrific First Easter at home. We came home from a busy day exhausted, went to bed early and slept through the whole night. What a fun experience.
