Wednesday

Hi Grandma!! Owen says he misses you lots!

Today, we finalized day care arrangements with Kris (our friend's daughter's nanny). Kris will be taking care of Owen too! We are soooo very happy not to put him in a day care center with lots of other kids...all of which do not get the attention they need. We couldn't be more thrilled to work with Kris and have Owen and Tess have a special bond with each other. Tess is very excited to help Kris change diapers, feed, etc. Tess is the daughter of my late friend from college, Eric (actually it's James Eric...this is who Owen James is named after). I'm very happy that both of our children will know each other well and that my family will be able to carry on a relationship with Tess and Eric's partner, Tim.

Other than that, our maternity leave together has been pretty boring. Jen took on another freelance design job for her aunt's theraputic riding center in Colorado. So, she's been working on that the past couple days. She's done with that for now...so, Owen and I get her all to ourselves tomorrow!! We have a list of things we are going to do.

Owen is still having some tummy problems but we feel like we are getting things worked out...slowly but surely. Owen has an appointment next Thursday with his new pediatrician (we didn't like his original one). He's going to get a series of shots at this visit....none of us are looking forward to it all!

Owen would like to give another shout out! Hello to Aunt Emily (aka Auntie Em)!
