Tube time. Owen had PE tubes placed in both his

ears last wednesday. They couldn't have happened

a minute to soon. When we arrived at the surgery center

we noticed he felt really hot. He had a fever and

two bulging ear infections! He's feeling much better

and sleeping really well these days. Let's hope it's

the end of ear infections for a while.

Christmas Eve

As our tradition stands, Christmas eve is spent

at Nana and Poppie's house. Owen was just

24 hours past his surgery and feeling much better.

We had a really nice time with Nana and Poppie,

Uncle Brian, Katharyn, Garret and Jessica.

Attempting to get a family picture. Owen was done

with picture at this point. Poppie kind of cut our

heads off.

It's a little big right now, but he had fun

Love my new wagon!

Bonnett Christmas 2009

We kicked off Christmas early this year with

a weekend full of Grandpa and Grandma Bonnett,

Aunts, Uncles and cousins, cousins, cousins! It was

a very busy house this year with the addition of

Owen, Samuel and Beckett. Grandpa and Grandma

Bonnett now have 8 grandchildren. We had so much

fun with everyone!

Happy 30th Birthday, Jordan! (Dec 18th)

My parents came up last Saturday to celebrate

Jordan's birthday. We had fun hanging out the

house together, grilling steaks and eating Jordan's

favorite cake- Bavarian Torte (he said it tasted

just like his moms- total compliment!)

Learning how to fly the airplane

Dishes, Dishes, Dishes

My usual post in the kitchen is at the kitchen sink.

We've let Owen have the cabinet next to the sink

so he can stay busy. He's getting very good at

opening the cabinets, but the pull out drawer can

be dangerous!

Cold helmet!

Snuggle time!

After Owen's nighttime bottle he will

sit still and relax on me. I treasure this time because

he is such a mover!

Owen's first steps were officially on 12/5, but

we caught it on video today. Jordan saw him take

a step over 2 weeks ago, but he waited until

this week to really fine tune his skills!
