Owen’s first experience with spaghetti went something like this:
1. Shove it in.
2. Lick the fingers.
3. Full belly…completely satisfied!
This child is a lot of things, but he’s not a picky eater!!

batman vs. the dark knight
Posted in the fam on April 29, 2008 | 5 Comments »
First things first: I’m a Batman guy. As a kid, Superman rivaled him as my favorite “super hero” (I use quotations only b/c there’s nothing technically/genetically superpowerific about Batsy), but around the time Tim Burton’s Batman starring Michael Keaton came out, I was sold.
Though never a big comic book guy, I’ve loved the cartoons [...]
travis! what did you do to owen’s crib?!?
Posted in emily, owen, travis on April 28, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Yes, that was my first response when I noticed this on the side of Owen’s crib:
In my mind, I’m thinking, “Of course I would never do something that would harm Owen’s crib…It must have been Travis.” I wasn’t meaning that I thought he did it intentionally. He never damages things around the house [...]
owen’s new kicks
Posted in emily, owen on April 23, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Is it just me, or do these shoes look exactly like the ones I’ve seen myself wear in my baby pictures from the 80’s? I know that babies are supposed to have supportive shoes when they start walking…I just didn’t know they all look like this.
Owen and I headed to the mall to pay [...]

Last weekend, Travis and I were doing a bit of spring cleaning. He was being all productive outside and I was doing the same on the inside of the house. When we got to a stopping point, he informed me that he’d “taken care of” the bird’s nest on our front porch, thinking [...]
weekend in review: family rock band edition

This past weekend, Emily, Owen and I headed to Kansas City to visit my family. We had some good catch-up time with my grandparents and parents Saturday afternoon, followed by an evening at my cousin Luke and his wife Amy’s house (also in attendance were my cousins Don, Casey, and Casey’s boyfriend, Brad).
That night, the [...]

Today, Owen is 11 months old! He’s becoming quite the climber lately. He’s now pulling up on EVERYTHING and starting to cruise around furniture. He never sits still. He looks very calm in the above picture, but the below picture shows what most of the pictures we took during this little [...]

Yeah, that’s right. The title of this post comes from a flamboyant 80s song. Whatcha gonna do about it? How about read on…
So this weekend three of my best friends came into town to hang out and meet Owen for the first time. Jeff, Kevin and Patrick were my roommates in college, Kevin for all [...]

A few days ago, Owen and I went to a water class at our local YMCA. We are involved in the Parents as Teachers program through our school district, and free classes are offered every semester for moms and kids. This is the first time I’ve taken advantage of the free classes, and [...]
owen’s first movie reenactment…
Posted in the fam on April 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’m not sure what I thought Owen’s first “reenactment” would be. Maybe the Amigo salute from The Three Amigos. Or possibly the “Aaaahhhhh” scream from Home Alone. Or maybe even a monologue from Hamlet.
This, however, is not what I had in mind…
