Well, kind of....he had his first voting experience with his Moms! He was so good...not a peep out of him. Let's see....what else? Owen started staying with Kris on Monday since we are both back to work. I think it went very well for Kris, Owen and Tess. Tess helped change diapers and feed Owen. When I picked Owen up Monday evening, 3 year old Tess told me that Owen was a good baby. :) Cute!
We had a really busy weekend. On Friday, Owen stayed with Grandma Pat while we went to Owen's Uncle Mike's 40th birthday party....his one man show called 'One Night Stand'. Uncle Mike's dream has always been to perform a cabaret style show. so, he treated himself (and a bunch of people) to his dream for his birthday. we should all do that!
I can't even tell you how good it was!! He really could take his show on the road and it would be a hit. I'm not kidding. That man is talented! I video taped it for him and I've watched it a number of times already.On Saturday, we hung out at home and then went to Uncle Mike & Ty's house in the evening because their families were all in town for Mike's show and they wanted to meet Owen. We are very blessed to have a close extended chosen family in Mike, Ty, Sophie and Ava. They are special to all three of us. On Sunday, we went over to Tess and Tim's house for dinner. It was a great weekend overall.
Mystery: Owen received a package yesterday and there wasn't any information as to who it is from. In the package, there were 4 of the cutest cloth books about farm animals (he loved them...we hang them from his play mat). If you are the sweet person who sent them, please let us know so we can give the proper thanks!
Many apologies to Great Grandma Jerry for taking so long to post a new entry. It's been sooo busy getting ready for this week that we just haven't had any spare time. I'll try to get better! It really doesn't take me that long.
Owen is really smiling lately! It is such a treat. As a matter of fact, Jen and I both think that he laughed when we were playing with him yesterday. Ahhh.....we just love him so much! He's dreamy.
Now, where did I put my cigar? Owen wants to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! He's pretty excited because he is going to Chicago tomorrow with his moms and Grandma Pat to see Uncle Brian, Aunt Nikki, Cousin Ava, Aunt Melinda and Uncle Michael. Uncle Michael is flying in from Boston! He's never met Owen or Ava...is he ever in for a treat! We are looking forward to it. We leave tomorrow around 1:00 and plan to come back to Minneapolis on Saturday.
I'm sorry to say that I can't get any other videos to upload but I'm going to keep trying. Well, I better go pack. Have a great Thanksgiving and remember that we love you all very much!
I asked Owen what we should send Alison for her Birthday and he got a huge grin on his face. So, we are sending this sweet smile out to her on her Birthday and hope she enjoys it as much as we do. Happy Birthday Alison!
We just love these times with him. We are really close to having a consistent schedule with naps, feedings, baths, bedtime, etc. It seems he is staying awake longer and eating more at meal times. Kris is noticing this too. He's growing so fast and I think he looks older than 2 months at times. I want him to stay little forever! The thought of him getting old makes us sad. I guess we'll have to have another one. :)

Owen!! He's the biggest!! Yep, Owee and his little cousin Rigo (aka 'gogo') are only 7 weeks apart. You wouldn't believe how tiny gogo is....so small and soooo sweet! Owee was pretty excited to meet his cousin when we were in Missouri because he is very competitive and likes to win (as you can see). He heard gogo was a little on the scrawny side....easy victory. eh eh eh. In all fairness, Owen is huge! He has already grown out of some 3-6 month sleepers and he's already in Size #2 diapers. In the next picture, the pacifier in gogo's mouth is a smaller sized pacifier than most and it takes up 1/2 of his cute little face!
So small...great things come in small packages. We are very happy that gogo is out of the hospital and doing great. We love you Rigo!! We'll see you at Christmas. It will be fun!
