Not quite 100%

We're closer to ... 44% at most. It just seems this winter someone's always got a cold or something and usually it's Owen Sherman. Poor little guy. He's really looking forward to spring. However, we still managed to have a little fun this weekend.

Bouncy bounce

Well, this was quite a looooooooooong weekend. We had all sorts of grand plans that were quickly derailed by PINK EYE! Owen got it first, then Jacob got it. Ugh. What a total pain. Have you ever tried putting drops in a two-year-old's eye... three times a day... for five to seven days? Yep, that's been fun.

In the meantime, Owen is 7 months old already! It's just amazing to me how slowly those first few months went and then suddenly it's been 7 months. He's sitting pretty well and talking a lot, rolling over and over and over, he wants to chew on every single thing and when he doesn't have a cold or pink eye he sleeps pretty well too. I was just recently thinking how it's nice that we're getting sleep again and then he got a cold and pink eye. Sigh.

Despite the "glory" that has been this long weekend, we did discover Owen loves to bounce, went on a nice walk which made me long for spring when we can do that more often, and Mike took Jacob on his first trip to the Air and Space Museum. It was a hit. Now we're just hoping for a good night sleep one of these days as Mike and I constantly compare who is more tired and why. Official word is in and I'M more tired.

Christmas & New Year's

For Christmas Eve this year we packed up all our stuff and drove two miles down the road to spend the night at Aunt Nancy & Uncle Steve's to be with them, Sam & Anderson & Memaw. While it wasn't the best night's sleep any of us has had in recent memory, there's nothing like waking up (well, I never actually went to sleep thanks to Owen Sherman) with a house full of kids on Christmas morning. Jacob loved being with his cousins and as long as there was a wrapped present waiting to be opened you would never even have suspected that he had an ear infection - ugh!






That's Love

Then it was New Years at our house with newly engaged Charlotte and Bill stopping by, and a special new year's dinner with Aunt Nancy & the boys and the Schwartzes of Virginia. Lyle and Jacob had so much fun together that Jacob asked where Lyle was for two days after they left.





HAPPY 2011!!!
