Technical Difficulties

Well the end of August seemed to go by quick and with it, brought some unexpected changes. The picture was taken from my computer which reverses the image. I have a broken left wrist and separated/fractured right elbow. It could have been a lot worse, but you should always listen to your instincts and quit while ahead.

Emily has been more than wonderful, picking up the slack and I mean that literally. I can basically hold a 1/2 gallon of milk as of today, progress! To make matters worse, Owen (and now Emily) has been very sick and teething, so he now has his top two teeth coming in and crawling better and faster each day.

Getting stuck under the table, no problem! Wedging myself under the rocking chair, no problem! Pulling and pushing tables out of the way, no problem!

Owen… you are lucky you are cute!

Looks like this Labor Day weekend is going to be nice and I am looking forward to spending a somewhat relaxing weekend with the family.

Here is a random picture of the place that bit me…. I owe Emily some major spa time, she deserves all the praise I can give her!


Out Like a Lion…

March came in like a lamb (as a snow storm) and now it is leaving like a lion with a random hail storm that caught us off guard today enjoying the nice weather.  Either way the weekends are great with Owen as he is really interacting with us more and more… though as shown in these pictures, he was not in a happy mood knowing that mom goes back to work tomorrow – boo!

I went with him to REI today and we were talking back and forth and shaking our arms while going through the store. The laughs and smiles are so amazing, he is a funny little man and since he was so good, I bought him Curious George rides a bike . The chubby cheeks are loved by all who see him and I am sure we will start to lose the extra chins since he is holding his head up more and more each day, as shown in the video.

Soon enough he will be able to get in the backpack and watch me play in the dirt. Next weekend we shall see if we can find some trout – can’t wait for the summer trips and being able to sit in the creek.

Here is a message that the boy gave me this morning: “I miss you mom, good luck at work today, I will be thinking of you every 2-2.5 hours”- love Owen.
