Christmas Video Coming Soon

Just wanted to say thank you for all the great gifts for O and us. I will be finishing up some Christmas video this week and posting soon.

First Trip to the Movies

Owen had his first trip to the movie theater this weekend. "DeeDee" was in town so we all went and saw "Happy Feet." The first time outing went well. Only had to take a couple of breaks from the movie - (Owen got a little hyped up on sugar from the chocolate covered raisins)But all in all he seemed to really enjoy the experience.

Summer 2006

With winter coming - thought this would bring a nice warm summer memory

Owen and Elmo

Hitting a new point – Owen is now at a stage where everything he does Elmo has to do. From bath, to brushing teeth. Tonight Owen insisted that Elmo needed to wear a diaper, and was distraught to know that we didn’t have pajamas that would fit Elmo. Kim negotiated a compromise and put red PJs on Owen so they would look like… oh and Elmo had to be wrapped in the blanket and apparently he requested his own sippy cup of milk.

The Great Pumpkin did not show…

Rumor has it that Owen wore his costume at daycare with the other kids… but we didn’t get to see it – this is the closest we came. If we get a picture - we'll post it.

Click on the picture to go to flickr – there are some good shots from the weekend. The last day of daylight savings was a nice long hot day. We celebrated by going to the beach. The next cold and winter like… such is Nor Cal weather.

Owen and I went down the beach after work to enjoy the much overdue and often over hyped "Indian Summer"

Owen's Second B-day

Owen's Second B-day

well... actually these are from the day before his second B-day because I will be traveling tomorrow during his b-day. This year we had a little quiet family celebration...kind of too quiet. But the home made mac-n-cheese was good and so was the cake. Thanks to everyone for his gifts! If you look closely you can see the balloon's tied to Rupert in the background. More B-day pics on Flickr.

The video function is broken... but try clicking on the this link - click here to see some video... it should take you to a new page with some video of the b-day cake. As soon as the video function is fixed, I will fix it. Or... maybe since Google (the owner's of this service) bought YouTube for $1.6 billion - I will have to start using YouTube and not VideoEgg.

Pumpkin Picking

Catching up

It has been a while since the last post... and we are over due for posting up more pictures to flickr (sorry - we will get the pics from the trip back east up soon). Owen started his new daycare last week (another in-home daycare set up with a woman named “MiMi.”) He is doing great and has adjusted nicely. (better than mom and dad probably did).

Eric and Marci came out to visit this weekend with Max - it was great to get Owen and Max together. Owen was a bit territorial but ultimately he played and shared pretty well with Max.

Look for more pics this week.

Back East

Owen is on the road show for the next couple of weeks - visiting the GPs, Uncles/Aunts and cousins. Pics to come.

The flight out apparently wasn't the "smoothest" (and I am not talking about turbulence)
