Back to the grind.

Owen absolutely loves standing by the stairs (much to our dislike!). We play this game where he is upstairs looking over the balcony onto the hallway downstairs, and he will laugh and holler until he sees us. Then he cracks up like it is the funniest game EVER. He is a hoot. I know these pics stink, but there wasn't much light in the room, and he moves like CRAZY which equals blurry photos. How much longer until I can buy an external flash for my camera???

It was a crazy week this week! Owen went back to daycare, although he was not too happy about that. He contorted his little body every way he possibly could to cling to me when I was trying to leave. It was really sad. But, the good news is that he was having fun each day when I picked him up. :o) He just likes to throw the dramatics in the mornings, you know, to make sure I start off my day on a positive note.


I have spent the last 3 weeks searching for a photographer to take our family photos. It is so incredibly frustrating. Chris doesn't want to spend any money. He would be totally cool going to Sears and knocking it out there. (NOT that there is anything wrong with Sears AT ALL, it is just I want something more urbany/photojournalistic than that). Needless to say, this is a fight that I *will* win. I have to have fun family photos done. It is just that I use my "fun money" to buy camera stuff for myself, lol. PLUS, when was the last time Chris smiled for the camera?? Lifestyle portraits are the only chance I have at getting good family pics. ;o)

The planning for Owen's birthday is in full swing! Invitations are going out on Monday. I had so much fun making them. Okay, I am lying...it was a HUGE pain in the neck, and I didn't do the back of the card like I wanted to. But they turned out cute, none the less. Have a great week!!
