Happy Mother's Day, Indeed!
On Sunday we started a raised vegetable garden.
We spent the entire afternoon in the backyard working
very hard! I had a wonderful mother's day with
my little helper (and my big helper).

until the frosty nights stop)

16-Months-Old
Yet another month has has flown by
and our little guy seems to grow and mature
overnight. He is saying several words now:
Hi, Bye, Mom, Dada, Grace, Hot, Up, Olive, Done,
This, Ball and Uh-Oh. He also signs Please, More, and
All Done. He's even put 2 words together,
Hi Dada, but I have yet to catch it on tape. He loves
this warmer weather and begs to go outside by bringing
us his shoes and pulling us towards the door. We are
so happy to have a deck without stairs right now, because
we can let him go out there and run around without worry.
He's climbing and running all over the place, keeping
mom and dad VERY busy! We are so blessed to
have a happy, healthy little boy.

Digging in the pots is a favorite....better invest in
a sandbox soon!
Always playing with the big boy toys
Owen and Mommy ventured to Batavia
for several days last week. We had a great
time with Poppa, Grandma and Aunt Melissa.
Great Aunt Cathy and 2nd Cousin Jessica
also came to see us!
"Where's Owen?"
Can you find Owen running around the yard?

Grandma was entertaining Owen while I packed
the car and I couldn't resist taking a few pictures of
them working in the garden. Notice the "love"
sign to the left.

Imagination Station
We have this wonderful park that was built
last year in town. We go there at least 2 times
a week to run and play. Grandpa and Grandma
Bonnett came over for lunch on Saturday and
we took them there for some fun.

Babies, Babies, Babies!
The Flack Family and Janowiec Family all came over today
for a fun lunch. Owen and Carter had a great time chasing,
"cleaning", and running around, while Lucy and Katy
talked baby talk. With 6 adults and 4 kids we are still
in control, but I have a feeling that won't be the case
in a few years!

Welcome to the World Kathryn Susan Janowiec!
Abby and Tony welcomed their BEAUTIFUL baby
girl to the world this morning. She weighed
7 lbs 13 oz and is 19 1/2 inches long. Everyone is
doing wonderful. I had to wait ALL day for Jordan
to come home so I could finally meet her (Owen has
a runny nose so we thought it best to keep him home).
I am so excited that my best friend is now a mommy.
Owen and Katy are going to have a blast together!

We headed to Madison this morning for a day
filled with fun with the Flack Family. We got to
meet the newest addition to the Flack Family -
Lucy Rae! She is so precious and tiny! I forget how
small they start out. Owen and Carter had fun running
around while the parents got to chat and play too!
I spent most of the afternoon baby snuggling!
Ready to start the day
