When did my child get old enough to have a school picture?? Yet somehow he is. This school picture was taken a week after he fell and hurt his chin (see this post for a picture of the damage!). If you saw the before pictures, you can tell he’s done a lot of healing in [...]

owen’s first field trip
Posted in owen, things to do in st. louis on October 18, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I couldn’t wait to chaperone Owen’s first ever school field trip! Being on the parent side rather than the teacher side of the field trip experience was a WHOLE lot more relaxing! We went to Thies Farm which is a pumpkin patch about 10 minutes away from Owen’s school. The weather had been awesome…70′s and [...]

Poor Owen. Looks nasty, huh? Our first rainy day in a long while caused us to pull out the raincoats yesterday. Owen is obsessed with putting his hands in his pockets when he walks, thus preventing him from catching himself when he tripped going up the slippery steps outside of church last night. It was [...]

A couple of weeks ago our friends Peter and Leslie got married! Leslie was one of my roommates for 3 years in college and Peter was our next door neighbor. They are great together and it was such a fun celebration! Leslie asked me to be in her house party and Owen made his third [...]
protectors of the home

It was several hours after bedtime when I walked through the dining room and discovered these guys: They made me laugh out loud. When had my little soldier-obsessed boy done this? What was going through his mind when he did it? I could just imagine his little hands lining those guys up and the story [...]
the cards gave owen a win for his b-day!

Owen’s actual birthday fell on a Tuesday, and the Cardinals were at home. We felt it was high time our boy went to his first Cards game. To get him ready for the game, our birthday present to him was a Cardinals hat and shirt to wear to the game. And he wore them proudly. [...]
owen’s fourth birthday bonanza!
Posted in holidays, owen on May 19, 2011 | 5 Comments »
To celebrate Owen’s fourth birthday he had his first ever drop-off party! He invited 10 of his best friends over for a cowboy-themed party, and everybody arrived dressed in their best wild west gear. We were really hoping for a nice day and after a week of 80 degree (and hotter) weather, it seemed possible. [...]

Yesterday my little guy turned FOUR!!! Where did the time go?!? Here are some things that are new for Owen this past month: *He can write his name! He’s taken a big interest in writing lately (finally!!) and loves to practice writing his name. It’s cute to hear him talk about it when he writes [...]
a precious day

Yesterday, May 15, 2011 was a day I’ll never forget. For the past several months Owen has had a lot of questions about Jesus. We’ve had a lot of good discussions, and we could tell that he’s been doing a lot of thinking. I teach the preschool kids on Wednesday nights at our church. One [...]
a quick easter tale
Posted in funnies, owen on May 1, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Emily teased this a couple posts ago, and I apologize I’m just now getting the story up. It goes like this: The week before Easter, Owen sits at the kitchen table with Emily, Molly, my parents and me. Owen: “Nana and Bubba, did you know Jesus died on the cross?” Nana/Bubba: “We did, Owen!” Owen: [...]
