A couple of milestones...

Owen got his first pair of boxer shorts today. Notice the rocket launcher & Power Ranger's toy in his hand...those aren't baby toys. He's a real big boy now I guess. :-)


He spent a good portion of the day trying to convince me that we need to purchase space bags. For those who don't know, space bags allow you to store things like out of season clothes, comforters, etc. in much smaller spaces because you suction the air out of the bag to shrink it down. In Owen's words we need them because "You won't even have to use the washing machine. Everything comes out just as clean & fresh as when you put it in." This evening he moved on to convincing me to buy an album of love songs that is advertised on TV about 12 times per hour. The songs are actually pretty good. Owen says "You need them because they're lu-uv songs, you know - like you lu-uv daddy. It's hard to keep up because the songs go by really fast. There's a lot of them...they're a collection. You need to save up a whole lotta money because it's six ninety-nine." If you've been around Owen recently you know he's developed these hilarious and exaggerated facial expressions and gestures...they're hard to say no to. That's why we have 2 packages of space bags and a love song CD on order. Just kidding Marsh...

Also, Jacob has learned how to do his own laundry which will give me a much-needed break on occasion. Seriously, he & Cole love to help me put the clothes into the washer & switch them to the dryer...if only they could fold them!

Feel free to post a comment telling me how stinking cute the kids are or just to say Hi! :-)

Yes, Owen keeps me on my toes with all his questions these days. Cole & Jacob keep me on my toes because they're into EVERYTHING. We have nonstop action around here. :-)
