To Infinity and Beyond

We have taken away the sippy cups with the straws in them. They just leak all over the place. Owen now has two Buzz Lightyear sippy cups, which he hates. He refuses to tip the cup up, and I guess overall it's just more work for him and he is a tiny bit upset about it. In the picture, he is actually holding the cup, which is an improvement over earlier today, when he would throw the cup and then proceed to run after it and kick it repeatedly. But you know, it is really hot and dry here, and sooner or later he's bound to get pretty thirsty, at which point I think he'll suck it up and drink out of it.

Haley's Sling, Round 2

Ashlyn, Haley and Owen were getting ready to come back inside after an exciting time of running around in the driveway. Only Haley didn't run because today the ortho doctor said she couldn't pick up Owen, run, or jump around for two more weeks because the bone hasn't healed yet and any mishap could cause the break to open back up (notice the sling). Yeah, life stinks for her, but I distinctly remember saying "I just don't think it's a good idea for you guys to be jumping on the bed". Kind of like the time I told them not to play with the huge rocks in the yard in Hawaii.....

Run Forrest Run

Owen is getting better at walking every day. He is also getting faster. He chases after the girls and you could almost say he is running. Almost.

Try, try, try again.....

These are my attempts at getting all three of them to sit together, look at me and smile all at the same time. FYI-Haley's hair is curly because we braid it while it's wet. This has become a big look for her. The first picture is a good one of Ashlyn. The second one is good of Owen. I'm not sure what was going on in the third one, but the last one is a good one of Haley. At that point, I decided to cut my losses and be done.

Bird Killer

This is Max. He looks innocent and cute, however he is a bird killer. In the short time we've been here, he's killed one, possibly two birds. We all sat at the dining room table and watched him eat one of them. The girls thought it was hilarious. Scott thinks he is able to catch the birds because he is so low to the ground that he can sneak up on them. I am horrified by all of it.

Go Braves...and chocolate chip cookies

We made chocolate chip cookies today. Owen was my tester. I think I passed!!!
