What a big boy!!

Daddy's Day Delayed

Well we didn't actually delay the day but delayed a post about it. I'll let Owen tell this one. On father's day I woke Daddy up extra early (that's why he doesn't look so hot in those pictures!) to give him lots of kisses and hugs. I was so excited about my first day as a son on Father's Day that I just couldn't wait to give him his gifts. I used my hand prints to make him a card with mommy and my footprints to make a card for him at daycare. You could say that I put all of me into making those cards!! I also gave him a book about sports to read to me - it has cool pictures that move when you turn the page (my favorite page is the girl playing soccer but I won't tell if its because I really like soccer or the girl is cute!) I also gave Daddy a gift certificate to go wakeboard at the new wake park in Cincinnati he was very happy about that. But then a big "uh-oh' happened. Daddy hurt his knee playing soccer (he didn't cry but I think if he did it would have made him feel better). Daddy says he will have to save his wakeboarding for the end of the summer.

Hey Mom, Look what I can do

We've been baby proofing on demand. A whole new level will have to be added after what Owen showed us he could do today. All for a little plastic block :) Sorry you'll have to bend your head left....

Owen Has a Cousin

Marrett Lacee Beckler arrived June 29th (over a week late) just in time for the big 4th of July Party! She's a very good baby and the new family is doing well (not that they've had a moment to themselves yet!) Jen was a brave new mom and brought her 5 day old to the Becklers lake house so we could all hang out with them over the 4th weekend (and also enjoy the lake!!). Thanks to all who contributed to the weekend of fun and good food. Owen was a little too small to hold Marrett so it was hard to get a picture of the 2 of them but Natalee (Marrett's cousin on the other side) is 4 and was a great baby holder and entertainer for both the young ones. Here are some pics from the weekend.
