No Whining

This is the face Owen makes when he is whining for something. It rarely works. We don't want that to become a habit. We don't like whining.

Owen's Fort

Owen thinks the dryer is his fort. He loves to get in after I have unloaded it and check things out.

It's kind of tricky doing laundry with this little guy.

No Offense, Mr. President.

Owen watching President Obama give his inaugural speech.

The speech was a little long for Owen, so he needed to rest in the middle.

Too long for this boy! Time for a little reading on the tractor. No offense, Mr. President.

Owen's Playroom

I still have some work to do, but most of the basics are there. We have had so much fun playing in the room today. There is plenty of storage space for all his things, and there aren't toys scattered all over my house! This room will also serve as a guest bedroom when company comes to visit. So, we still have room for visitors, but we will use it much more as a playroom. Yay!

Family

Potluck Time!

Looks like Owen is ready for a little fellowship and food. He found these in the cabinet and carried them all over the house. Too bad they didn't really have any food in them!

Owen and David

Owen's buddy, David, came to visit us a couple weeks ago. He and Owen had a good time playing together. David would painstakingly place all the blocks in the wagon pictured above, and Owen would rapidly throw them out and climb into the wagon. This process happened repeatedly for about 30 minutes. Fortunately, David is a good sport and didn't mind Owen's attempts to undermine his hard work.

Cheese!

Macaroni and CHEESE, actually.

Little Explorer

Jacob bought me this headlamp for reading.

Owen likes to use it to explore dark hallways.

Owen LOVES Chocolate

At Christmas, Owen's Nana gave him some yummy treats...
and he ate them very quickly.

Buzz's Rice

Owen really likes to eat and he is a big fan of this particular dish.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!

Today is Papa's Birthday.
We Love You Papa!
