Evidently wearing a bucket on your head is a pretty good time. The good time for me came about 3 seconds after I snapped this picture…let’s just say he was headed straight for his crib, going at a pretty decent clip! Too bad I wasn’t taking a video of this moment! Side note…he was using [...]

Congrats to our friends Ben and Anna, who just had a new baby, Drew. The night Anna went into labor, we got to keep their little gal, Ella, at our place.
As is the usual custom in our home, we were rockin’ the tunes during/after dinner. Owen and Ella decided to cut a rug to some [...]
a lesson in vocabulary

Owen was feeling especially talkative yesterday, and I got lucky enough to capture it on video! Check it out…
Oh yeah…you’re going to hear me asking Owen to say “Mammy”. You may think that’s a strange thing for me to be asking him to say. Owen has recently started calling my mom “Mammy”. [...]
farewell to dear old bat

Sunday was a very sad day in our house. Owen’s favorite bat is no more. Here’s the sad tale…
After church we met our friends Emmie, Pierson and Chase for lunch at a park and then went on a train ride together. We knew in advance that the train ride was about 30 [...]

I keep you pretty updated on Owen’s stuff through other blog posts, but in case you want a quick recap…
Some things he’s been up to this past month:
1. Walking EVERYWHERE! He loves to explore and discover new things. He is not at all interested in toys…he would rather play with TV remotes, [...]

We’re halfway through the Olympics, and Emily and I are running hot with Olympic fever.
We’ve gasped as 27-pound gymnasts jump 19 feet in the air. We’ve marveled at Michael Phelps’ ability not to flash his privates to the world (seriously, those pants ride low). And we’ve tried our best to understand Bela Karolyi’s in-studio commentary.
I’m [...]
owen’s artist experience…
Posted in crafty things, owen on August 14, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Today I got out the markers and paper and set out to let Owen’s creative juices flow. He worked very hard on figuring out how to get the marker to mark on the paper.
He also spent a good amount of time kicking back, trying to figure out what was making the marker mark on the [...]
last day of summer…
Posted in crafty things, emily on August 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
…because school starts tomorrow! As most of you know, I take care of Rowan and Savannah every afternoon after school during the school year. Over the summer, I took care of them a few random days…including the first three days of this week. Because sitting in the house with 3 kids for 10 hours gets [...]

Last weekend, Jeff and Julie (Travis’ parents) came in town for a visit. Besides the obvious reason for the visit (Owen), they went to the Tom Petty concert on Thursday night. I have nothing to say about this concert considering I did not attend. If you read this post, you should not be surprised at [...]
quick craigslist update…
Posted in emily on August 7, 2008 | 4 Comments »
So I know you’ve been checking my blog just waiting to hear how my sales on craigslist are going. Well, I’m happy to say that I’ve officially sold one item! (And I’ve been stood up by one guy…he asked me if my Brita water pitcher smelled like stale water (weird)…to which I replied, “No, I’m [...]
