Misc...

Just a lot of miscellaneous to report...

first, check out how big he's getting!



what a little genius (notice the upside-down book!)



This weekend Mom, Owen and Grandma Ruth headed to Fremont (Heidi, aren't you SO proud?) to visit Uncle Nathan! We went up just for a few hours to say hi, since we haven't seen him in FOREVER (Nathan, you gotta keep in touch, and Theresa, you gotta help us not let that happen again!!)...It was so nice to see him and Theresa. Owen loved his Uncle Nathan, he just stared and stared at him and when Nathan wasn't holding him, Owen followed him around with his eyes. (I think Owen recognizes that Nathan looks alot like Grandpa..we have this theory that Owen plays with Grandpa at night, which is why he sleeps so good at night AND why he ends up in a TOTALLY different spot in his crib in the morning than when we put him down - which has been going on since well before he was two months old)....anyway, once we got into the big town of Fremont (actually it wasn't near as small as I thought), we met at Nathan's apartment and headed to see the house (right on the lake) that he'll be renting this winter...Then we all went out to lunch and afterwards said our goodbyes...and since Grandma Ruth is NOT a good photographer, this is the only pic we ended up with!! (I guess I could have intervened)...



When we got home we got to play with the Bumbo that we borrowed from Trisha (thank you!!) Owen did awesome in it, and took rather nicely to its sleek countoured positioning (checkout the pimp lean)





It was Scott's birthday on Friday (Happy Birthday, babe!!) so, we went out to dinner together (sans Owen) to celebrate - Scott picked the Stables for dinner and to my suprise, it wasn't as bad as I thought (Al, next time its an option, we may not have to dismiss the idea so quickly)

This weekend was also Jen's birthday (Scott's sister) - don't you know they are twins?! :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN (I love doing shoutouts on my blog!)

So to celebrate (even more) we all went to the bowling alley for some cosmic psychedelic bowling...sweet mother!!

Here are Scott's mom and I taking in the action...



My sweet little neice, Kenzie and I hangin out...



And Aunt Jen w/ little O...



And of course, what weekend would be complete without some dress up....


This wasn't really dressup - just a cute outfit he had on...plus the added touch of the fancy hat!!



Now presenting, little Owen in his Sweet Pea costume (this is compliments of aunt Barbra thank you!!) Oddly enough, before he was born, we called him 'Sweet Pea' - cuz he looked like a little pea in the ultrasound...and now that he's here we get to dress him up as one!! :)

I love the yoga pose in that first picture, he looks very Zen. As for the dress up, sweet mother, he looks so cute. Missing you lots. Kate

Sweetest Pea ever!
Happy Birthday Scott. Tim tried to give me his number on Friday so I could call him and wish him Happy Birthday on the day... but I was driving to Ann Arbor and couldn't write it down... and by the time I got to A2 I was too excited for my upcoming weekend, I forgot all about it.... oops! Can I borrow the fancy hat for the WMU/EMU game this weekend... it looks warm! :)

Owen was peacefully sleeping in the back of Scott's car in our driveway.... SO precious. How do you function.... I would just stare at him ALL. THE. TIME. P.S. NO JOKE... a woman just walked past our house walking a dog and wearing something like you wear Owen.... and it is ANOTHER dog.... WOW.
