Also, you may notice he's holding a rather SCARY looking knife... this was also a gift from his friends that he is to pass on to Josiah to initiate him into the world of hunting when he comes of age.
BUT, they also suggested he cut the umbilical cord with this same knife at Josiah's birth. Mom (ME) thought that was pretty far-fetched, but it turns out that our Dr. thinks it's cool... so THAT SCARY KNIFE is packed safely with all the cute little newborn outfits for our trip to the hospital!!!! Our Dr. just told us we'll notify the nurses just before Daddy pulls it out so as not to scare them, and to make sure not to poke Mom with it!
Grandma Carrie keeps sending Josiah the cutest stuff... Here's his camouflaged stuffed teddy bear taking a ride in Josiah's tonka truck! Daddy has quite a bunch of camo-styled baby stuff to dress Josiah up in :)

OK,
So I will change my prayers from just praying for a safe delivery to praying the PJ does not seriously injure you with the SCARY, CREEPY knife. That cord is tough to cut. Probably not as tough as an elk though! So, I'll.....uhhh....keep all of that in my prayers. What a "fun" new tradition. YIKES!

I found you from Craig's blog.
I just wanted to tell you I am a Captivating alumni, 2005.
I also wanted to tell you that I have a son named Josiah. He turns 16 on August 9th.
He's a leader for sure.... He is my 3rd child out of 5.
Do you know what the name means?
"Whom Jehovah heals"
Just thought I'd say hello.

Dad wants everyone to know that he will be very, very careful cutting the cord.
