Ice Fishing!!!

hellloooooooooo!!!!!!!
we had the great opportunity to go ice fishing yesterday! i was surprised that it was actually fun. :) our friend paul golden has a little shack on pleasant pond in richmond, me. logan and paul left at 6:30 to make the most of the day, and i left at 9:30 to bring the boys. it was a 1/4 mile hike across the ice to get to his set up, which is a good work out when you're tense, trying not to fall the whole way across! josiah was pretty amazed and had a great time, that is.....until they caught a fish. then he screamed bloody murder, and jumped every time the fish flopped! hopefully he has been irreparably traumatized. :)

here's some pics, plus two pics of benji (12 weeks old now) taken recently. he is the sweetest, most beautiful baby i've ever seen!!! he coos and smiles all the time now, and is so patient with his big brother. my heart is swelling just thinking about that adorable little boy. :)
