Playing at Grandma's

Dancing with Papa. Their favorite tune: The Farmer and the Dell.

The passion was born - Owen hasn't stopped playing with cars since his trip to Washington.
He loved Moby the dog...
and Dick the cat.

A Day at the Aquarium

An inside view. These fish are named Owen and Daddy.
I think the big kids are having a lot of fun!!!
Owen just loved the eel. I'm sure everyone in the aquarium heard his squeals.
Like father like son.
Strolling with Uncle Chris.

Fun in the Sand

Building a Plop Castle with Grandpa.
Playing in the sand is serious business.
Another trip to get water with Grandma.

Owen's First Visit to the Oregon Coast

Owen didn't care much for the feel of sand on his toes. It took some coaxing to get him to drop his feet.
Once he did, he loved pulling his bucket in the sand. But darn those speed bumps...
As always, walking on the beach was a bit chilly. Owen got an extra layer from Daddy.

In Honor of Meet the Babies - Cabin Style

"I was stuck at home during our annual Meet the Babies weekend. I found myself thinking about what you Woodshop Girls were doing while at the cabin and was sad to miss out on all the fun. So I decided to make my own MTB fun, cabin style. Of course it wasn't the same, but would have to do for this year. I missed you girls!"

In Honor of Meet the Babies - Cabin Style!

"We don't have a lake worth swimming in near by, so the coldest thing that I could find other than ice cubes was my garden hose. Yes, that's me in the lawn - a bikini clad pregnant woman holding a hose over her head awaiting the spray that would surely make me say, 'Oh crap. What was I thinking?"
"Not quite fresh picked blackberry pie, but a close runner up...almost. I am sure the berries and the rhubarb in this Amish-made pie were picked by someone, just not us girls on the shore of the lake."

More MTB III - Cabin version

"It's no fun playing spoons by myself, but like a good sport I got down on my hands and knees and did a piggie lap around the table. Baker chased me the whole way!"

"Striking the 'Janie' pose during a break from the action! Just fyi - Owen sits like this once in a while. It cracks me up!!!"
"In the tub all alone...sigh. I know I could fit at least one more buddy in here."
"That's better!"
