Rachel learning to do the monkey bars for the first time...so exciting! Try, try again......
and yes, we had to wear the hot pink tutu!!! what else????

baby boy moving all around...

School's Out!!

owen in the 'baby' swing...which is still a bit big for him. he was so slumped over, but loved it! without sunscreen, our time in the swing was brief, but he had fun. we met daddy for lunch and watched the sisters run around for a while. very nice.

this is right before SOMEONE jumped on the big metal contraption behind me and knocked my back into my chest. sigh. but it really did feel good in the shade...not the injury, but the nice breeze.........I will survive...hey hey....

i can only say it's never boring.

smiling at the camera. he's a pro now.

enjoying an early day at the park...actually park trip #1 of 2 on this particular day... we started out for donuts at 8 and ate them there, then hung around for a little while to play.

i couldn't wake rachel from a late-day nap, so i got owen to help me.....He pulled some hair, dripped some drool.....poor rachel was sleeping so good.`......

and to no avail................

Look who's missing a tooth...

Rachel bit into a laffy taffy in the car and pop, she said "um, momma, my tooth just came out"...God just knows how the little things make a difference...She's been so concerned and so stressed about pulling her tooth...He just helped her get through it without even trying. She squealed all the way home...it was GREAT!

Owen - On the move!

oh man, how i want to eat that foot!!

i mean, how sweet is that face???

cheeks! i have a pic of olivia doing this same thing ... will have to find it and post it.

Watch out! it won't be long till he's everywhere! He already travels in mysterious ways.........soon he'll be on the loose for real.

HE loves to be talked to...just make conversation and he feels like he can contribute........and loves to be free of clothing.
