Cousins!

Last weekend the Maher crew came for an overnight visit. We went

to the park, played in the yard and had a movie night!  We had so much

fun that Owen keeps asking me when his "friends" are going to

come back :)

The gang all piled into check out Owen's big boy bed

Bye Bye Crib!

Today was the first nap and bedtime Owen spent in his big boy 

bed.  He's been so excited about it since it was delivered on Wednesday.

Here are a last few pictures of him in his crib.

Hello Big Boy Bed!

It took about five minutes of crying and calling for mommy

before he fell asleep for his  2 hour nap!  I'm sure it will take a little

getting used to being in a different room and such a large bed!

Vegetable Garden

This year Owen was old enough to help Daddy plant all the 

vegetables for our garden.  He thought it was pretty neat to dig 

the holes, plant the seeds and cover them up.

Hard work is all done!  

Hoppy Easter!

This year we were in Batavia for Easter.  It was a busy weekend

full of family and Easter fun.  On Saturday we went to visit

Poppie's headstone and bury his ashes. On Sunday we headed

to church and came home for an Easter egg hunt and dinner.

Nothing like a chocolate peep to get your morning started!

Coloring Eggs!

This year was the first year we attempted coloring eggs. Owen did

a good job, but didn't quite understand the delicacy of the egg :0)

He did however enjoy eating them afterward :)

Brothers

The month of August we will be blessed with yet 

another little man!  It's hard to imagine anyone but 

Owen and at the same time it's so exciting to think

about who he will be and what he will look like.  We are

so excited for Owen to have a brother to run around with.

Whoever is in my belly loves to kick and move ALL

day long!  We might have our hands full with him :)

Owen spreading the good news!

Saying hi to "baby brother"

20 Weeks 

The return of Johnny Kratz!

Owen was trying to dress and undress one of his one

and only baby dolls, when I remembered Jordan's

cabbage patch doll was in the basement...complete

with hand made grandma clothes!  Owen loved

dressing and undressing Johnny and pushing him 

around the house....he's going to be such an awesome

big brother!

After unloading the groceries from the car

I walked in the house to find Owen

walking around in Daddy's shoes

My Daddy Rocks in the Snow!

After Jordan shoveled and snow blowed for

4 hours this morning, he warmed up and 

took Owen out to play in his huge snow fort.

Owen is completely unaffected by the cold

and the snow and just wants to be outside with 

daddy - loves it! In fact, there is usually a 

few tears shed when we finally say it's time to 

come in and warm up.

All bundled and ready to play
