inchworm

Owen cant wait to crawl.  He currently moves all over the house on his belly just like an inchworm.  It wont be long at all until he is really crawling.  He just adores Henry and wants to follow him everywhere he goes. Monkey see, monkey do.... : )

owen made it about 20 feet to be right next to henry, under the table!  

children's museum

We took advantage of the cold and rainy weather last weekend by spending the day at the Ft Worth Childrens Museum......

driving the ambulance in the hospital hands-on play area

cool technology

Owen taking it all in.... (not sure why i even attempt
 to put him in a stroller.  This snuggle bug insists on
being held about 99.9% of the time!)

building with blocks= henry's favorite

loved playing computers

snakes

grocery shopping hands-on play

another highlight- playing cashier!  : ) 

twenty

I am amazed that I have had the same best friend for TWENTY years.  Yes, 20 years.  Incredible.  I am so blessed. And so fortunate that we are walking this stage of life together as all our children are so close in age.
Henry LOVES his Ellie.  We talk about Ellie all day.  We save toys to play with for when Ellie comes over and point out tiny pink things while shopping for "Ellie's two baby sisters."  Love it.  Love our bfs!

Owen and the twins, Brooke and Brynn

paining with shaving cream

Ellie is so adorable

Hugs with mouthfuls of snacks!  : ) 

sweet Ellie went along with Henry to "trim trees"  and to "dig in the mulch"

squirt bottles were a favorite

Owen was a little sweet on Brynn (chewing on her hand)  : ) 

favorite group photo  

great grandma pat

We loved getting to see Great Grandma Pat last week.  Poor Owen wasnt feeling his best but regardless, he lit up in Grandma Pat's arms!   I think Papa got more pictures on his camera that I will add soon.... love Great Grandma and cant wait to see her again soon!

(owen is always drooling- therefore always wearing a bib!)  

owen

It blows my mind that little (well, not so "little") Owen is FIVE months old.  He is such a delightful baby.  He LOVES to snuggle, play, laugh and 'talk.'
Its hard to imagine life before him.  Seems like he has always been a part of our family.  God is so good and we are so grateful.

big fan of Sophie the Giraffe...

Happy birthday precious Brooklynn!  We love you angel!

pics

For my birthday (back in december), my sweet husband sent me out for the day and had professional pictures taken of the boys.  One of the best, most thoughtful surprises ever!

(sorry for the delay in posting- the photographer had a bit of a backlog in editing. Owen is 2 months, Henry 26 months when photographed...)

love

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
