Drumroll please…
Molly was:
And Owen was (that’s Darth Vader for those of you out there that aren’t well versed in the names and appearances of Star Wars characters):
And here’s my attempt to get them to pose for a picture before heading out to trick-or-treat. They both look pretty miserable. Molly, due to the fact that I had [...]
first things first…carving the pumpkins

Yeah, I know. You’d like to see the kids in costume. But I like things orderly, and we carved our pumpkins BEFORE we went trick-or-treating. Bear with me…the costume post will come.
Nana and Bubba made a last-minute trip to St. Louis to make up for the very sad trip cancellation we had to make last [...]
owen’s birthday festivities from start to finish

Owen turned 2 on Sunday. He really seemed to know that something was up and that it was all about him. Maybe it was because Travis and I woke him up by bursting into his room singing “Happy Birthday” or maybe it was the fact that there were presents all over the table and a [...]

Yesterday we celebrated Easter from sun up to sun down. The morning started off by waking Owen up with his Easter basket! I always remember waking up on Easter morning to find my basket at the end of my bed. I enjoyed passing along this tradition to Owen. Here’s a picture of his sheer delight [...]

Some of you know this – most probably don’t. Owen’s middle name, Lane, came from my Grandpa on my dad’s side. My Grandpa Lane has always been kind of a quieter guy, but that’s not to suggest that he wasn’t/isn’t active. I have so many memories from my childhood of hanging out with him, whether [...]

Everyone who has a child knows that Christmas takes on a whole new excitement when you get to see it through the eyes of your child. Last Christmas, Owen was slightly overwhelmed by all the Christmas festivities…this year, he couldn’t get enough!
We started our Christmas celebration with my family here in St. Louis. [...]

As you can tell, this picture isn’t recent…it was from last year. I don’t know about you, but nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a chubby baby dressed in Santa duds.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
