Our good friend Mende came to visit Joey from Minneapolis and she and Joey fell instantly in love. And, as with all the ladies Joey loves, he smiled and laughed for her all weekend (which of course, mommy can't seem to make him do!). Mende's mom, Charlotte Price also came to visit Joey and again...he smiled and laughed for her.
