First off, there are too many pictures to share (and we’re not yet Flickr-savvy), so for now, this one’s gonna have to do:
As you can see, Santa made his stop at our house.
Owen’s first Christmas was spread out over three days, starting here in St. Louis. Christmas Eve, we went to our church’s 5:00 service [...]

You’ve probably already figured out that I’m a bit of a movie guy. But you might be surprised to find out that “It’s A Wonderful Life” is my favorite movie of all time.
Call me a sap, but it’s a moving story that’s a lot deeper than most people give it credit [...]

The above picture doesn’t look like much, but what you are viewing is Green Star, Max’s beloved toy. (In case you’re unaware, Max is our 75 pound Golden Retriever.) Let me set the stage…
It was 4:30 in the afternoon. We were all in the basement doing different things. Owen was seated [...]

Happy 7 months birthday, Owen!
Owen continues to change before our eyes. If you look closely at this picture, you can see his two little teeth. They are really growing in and are super sharp (one big reason why Owen drinks his milk only from a bottle now!!). He is also developing quite [...]

…for lots and lots of snow!!! Besides my family being stricken by the stomach flu (Yes, Travis came down with the flu in a BAD BAD way. I, on the other hand, am still healthy.), we are receiving record amounts of snow here in St. Louis! I am thrilled because there’s nothing I like better [...]

The week started off like this…
Owen has discovered his tongue and can’t get enough of it! He constantly has it sticking out of his mouth. It’s pretty cute.
Owen got to spend a lot of quality time with his best buddy, Max. He lights up when he sees Max. He loves to touch him and pull [...]

Hey all. Sorry we haven’t had much up this week. Things have been a bit hectic. For those of you needing an Owen fix, I’m sure we’ll get something posted soon. Until then, try to stay as excited about Santa as Buddy the Elf is in this clip.
Only 12 more days…

My baby’s growing up! Today Owen ate (or should I say, sucked on) his first cracker!! He LOVED it! In fact, he got mad when it had disintegrated into mushy, slimy pieces and I had to take it away.
At first, he worked on picking up the cracker. When that was mastered, he [...]

…Travis and I got engaged! No, unfortunately this is not a picture of us right after we got engaged. This is actually a picture of us from last weekend, but at least it’s a picture of us.
Some of you may know our story, some of you may not. For the sake of [...]

Every Christmas, I find myself really wanting to watch the ole’ Holiday kids TV specials. Of course, Charlie Brown and How The Grinch Stole Christmas are must-watches. But then there’s Rankin/Bass’ “classic” claymation special, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. Let’s be honest here, Rudolph isn’t up to par with Charlie and the [...]
