A soul that walks on water leaves no footprints, but will make waves."
Owen’s nap turned into three hours of happy play time in his crib this afternoon and I didn’t actually sleep either but both of us were quite good and I only had to be told to stop whining once. Owen didn’t whine at all and Kris and I were quite shocked…
Well, the bed is here, but we haven’t slept on it yet. When it arrived we began pulling things out of the box and it all seems to be in good condition, everything is accounted for and it doesn’t look difficult to put together or too complicated to set u…
Owen is learning the art of sleeping without his beloved pacifier. He has never even tried to say paci or pacifier when referring to this tiny object of security. This is odd considering he tries to say almost everything else that we say. But this is…
I am going to brag a little so if you have a weak stomach you may want to skip this one.
Owen is such a good boy. Every night I try to take a little time to cuddle, sing and hand out tons of kisses and mushy words…like Mommy loves you, before I l…

We had Owen’s nine month pictures taken today. I’m a little disappointed in his behavior. He was not a bad little boy…he was just clingy and wouldn’t cooperate with the photographer very well. He would literally turn his back to her as much as possi…
Owen has become quite the clapping fellow since Grandma was here. I had sat with him and tried to get him to play Patty-Cake with me, but to no avail. Now, he will slap those hands together on demand and he’s so proud of himself.
My sister’s son Lan…
I cut the grass, swept off the sidewalk and entrances as well as the entire back black-top area where we used to park. The last storm blew a lot of sticks and little twigs and leaves everywhere so it looked as if that back lot was carpeted with debree.…
