In the beginning of the month, we went to Montana for a fabulous vacation at Summersing, a women's music empowerment camp that Lisa has gone to for 9 summers in a row now. We all had a wonderful time. collage.jpg (116928 bytes)

(Joa has even more camp buddies--to any of you who are visiting our site, if you have pictures, we'd sure love copies!)

Here are all of this year's campers: .

Here is Joa at the concert in Big Timber the night after camp ended:

In preparation for his first Summersing music camp,
Joa tried on all of Mama Lisa's camp shirts from previous years. Check it out!

These photos of Joa & the moms traveling after camp were taken at Bear's Tooth Pass in Montana.

We stopped in Montana to change a diaper at the side of the road & I guess the cows had never seen anything like it; they all came running over to watch & to talk to us!

Joa's First Birthday

We had a slumber party on the 20th with Denise and Kali. What fun! Spaghetti and watermelon for dinner, lots of games. Then a nice sleep, and we were all there when he woke up on his birthday morning. Joa was so surprised! Pancakes for breakfast (with 3 that spelled "JOA"), then fabulous presents, more playing, and a nap.

In the evening we went to a sweet song circle at Joa's Dr. Lisa's house, opened more presents, played the world premiere of Joa's first birthday song, sang a lot of other great tunes, and watched Joa's birthday video from his friend Deborah. Nothing like a two-year-old singing Joa's diaper changing song on video while sitting naked on the potty. It was hysterically funny. A wonderful first birthday.
