With less than 3 weeks remaining until the baby comes, I keep thinking of things I want/need to do before he/she arrives. One of those things happened to be finding the perfect gift for the baby to give to his/her big brother. As of late, Owen has been BIG into Hot Wheels. He loves how [...]

i get to be pregnant for 3 more weeks

Today, Travis and I went to the doctor knowing there was a chance that he could say that the baby needed to come out ASAP. Let me backtrack…
Last Wednesday I had a weekly appointment and my doctor said that I was still measuring very small and he was concerned that the baby was dropping in [...]

The Tigers are in the Sweet 16, and we couldn’t be more excited. Next Thursday’s game against Memphis is sure to be a challenge. The odds are against us. But with some guts…and a little hope…shoot, who am I to give a pep talk when this video exists?! PLEASE watch the whole thing…it just gets [...]
let the madness begin!

As you know, Em and I are rather obsessive Mizzou hoops fans…so as you can imagine, after the Tigers won the Big 12 Tournament last weekend, March Madness was in full effect in our household.
Em and I both love the tourney, and are raising Owen to as well. We’ve filled out our brackets, and are [...]
22 months…and the last picture of owen by himself
Posted in Baby #2, owen on March 17, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Yep, that’s right. A month from today, Owen will be 23 months and a big brother! Quite possibly, the next time we take a monthly picture it will be of Owen sitting in the chair holding his new brother or sister. Wow. That makes it seem REALLY close. Anyway, here’s a shot of the little [...]
happy birthday, travis!

Today was the day…the big 28! Travis had been out of town since Friday morning for a work conference and returned today around lunchtime. He decided to take today and tomorrow off to spend some time with the fam. He couldn’t have chosen a better two days weather-wise. We spent the entire afternoon playing outside [...]
nigh-night

Owen is obsessed with going “nigh-night”. He loves it when he has to go nigh-night, and he loves to put his “guys” to nigh-night. (He calls his Little People animals his “guys”.) I’ve been trying to catch him in the act of putting his guys to sleep for the past couple of weeks but he [...]
heat wave!

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous in St. Louis for the past couple of days. Now that we’re healthy again, Owen and I have been taking full advantage of being outdoors!
Thursday afternoon we played outside for 2 hours with Rowan and Savannah. They showed Owen the fun of sidewalk chalk.
Can you tell by the look [...]
even the doctor says we’re unlucky!

As the title of this post suggests, we made another trip to the doctor today. And even she recognizes that, if it’s out there, Owen’s going to get it. When we were getting ready to leave she looked at Owen and said, “Buddy, what are we going to do with you? You’ve had some bad [...]
our little helper
Posted in owen on March 2, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Owen is big into helping out around the house lately. He loves to help load (and unload the dishwasher). As soon as he sees me open the dishwasher, he runs over and holds out his hand so that I can hand him something.
Even though it takes about 10 times as long, I love how much [...]
