We’ve been a little bored around here lately. Between all the snow and Owen’s nasty cold, Owen and I have pretty much been each other’s entertainment. We’ve been creative about how to amuse ourselves…
From dressing up Max in Travis’s clothes (my idea…it’d been a LONG day with NO adult interaction…I thought this was [...]

fun with play dough
Posted in crafty things, emily, owen on January 28, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Today we had another snowy day! Owen and I have not left the house since Monday, so I’ve been trying to think of things to do to keep us busy. I had been given this recipe for play dough from my parent educator through Parents as Teachers, and today was the perfect day [...]
our day in the snow

When Owen woke up from his nap and was doing this, I knew playing in the snow was in our future.
We both bundled up, Owen in his long johns, snow boots, hat, and mittens…and me in my old ski jacket that I can just barely zip around my belly. Then we headed out into [...]
the trip to dallas

First of all, thanks to everyone who passed along plane advice. It was very helpful, and I’m happy to report that Owen did FANTASTIC on the plane! I should have thought about the fact that he is obsessed with transportation vehicles and realized that he might be fascinated by the plane itself…which he [...]
wanted: advice!

Tomorrow morning, bright and early, I’m taking off with Owen to go visit my grandmother, aunts, uncle, and cousins in Dallas. We’re flying, and this will be Owen’s first plane ride. I’m a planner…maybe that’s even an understatement. I like to have an idea of what is going to happen every [...]

On Saturday, Owen turned 20 months old! Crazy that we’re getting that close to 2. Saturday also marked 3 months left of this pregnancy…wow, time is flying.
Here are some things Owen’s been up to lately:
* Of course, the big boy bed. He’s still doing really well, but yesterday he fell out [...]
a conversation with owen

Owen got this toy for Christmas:
He’s a big fan of the Little People toys…particularly those with animals. So this Noah’s Ark toy was right up his alley. Owen is also very into animal sounds. One night, Travis and I were playing with Owen in his room. Here’s how the conversation went:
Travis: Hey Owie, what does [...]
more changes around the house
Posted in emily on January 14, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Maybe it’s the cold temperatures. Maybe it’s the “nesting” thing that goes along with being pregnant. Or maybe it’s that I just really love to decorate/rearrange things in my house.
Anyway, I’ve been shaking things up a bit. (And this post may be boring to some. I’m really doing it to entertain myself. Travis has been [...]

Be aware, this post is going to be long, sappy, and will have lots of pictures. If that’s not your bag, you may not want to go on…
Saturday morning was a normal morning. We woke up, got Owen out of his crib, ate breakfast, played, etc… The big boy room had been set up for [...]

First of all, thanks to all of you who’ve emailed, called or left comments asking about test results. I appreciate the support!
After a full day of anxiously waiting for the phone to ring…it never did. According to the nurse I talked to on Friday, if I didn’t receive a phone call I should assume that [...]
