Matching outfits

Yes. I know. I swore I would never dress my children in matching outfits, by Gymboree had a 45% off everything in the store sale. Who can resist that?

Does anybody but me think that Owen's attempt at brotherly love looks more like a choke hold than a kiss?

Owen's photography

Owen got a kid friendly digital camera from Grandaddy and Ellen for his birthday. He is quite the avid photographer. His skills need some development yet, but he is on his way. Here are some of his artistic contributions.

Spider Baby (and shih tzu)

Owen spent the week after his birthday at my mom's. Thomas and I found it quite relaxing to be down one 3 year old for a week. We cleaned a lot, spent a lot of time with Henry, and tried Owen's spiderman hat on everyone.

A soggy Thanksgiving

Henry's first Thanksgiving was a bit rough. We stayed in a hotel, but Henry cried most of the night. Then Thanksgiving day it poured rain. We even dented the car.

Owen loved the rain though, and the food was good, so I guess it al worked out in the end. Henry had crackers for his first Thanksgiving.

Daddy and Henry took a pre turkey nap and the boys posed for a Christmas card pic with my grandma.

Birthday spectacular

Owen had an awesome 3rd birthday. He had a party at school and then a party at My Gym. He got tons of really great presents. (Lots of Spiderman stuff, much to his delight.) We were all quite tired by the time all the celebrating was through, but a great time was had by all.
