Happenings.....

Brian had off four days for Easter break and we had a wonderful weekend. We had amazing sunny and warm weather and we definitely made the most of it. Friday we went for a hike and tried out our Kelty backpack. Owen seemed to enjoy it for the most part but freaked out a little at the end. :) We finished the day with a cookout and the next day traveled to NJ to spend Easter with Grandma and Grandpa McHugh, Aunt Kate and Uncle Chris. It was such a fun time. Owen enjoyed playing outside with some new toys and going for walks with Grandpa. He still isn't walking but loves to move around holding on to someone's hand. We took some pictures of him playing in the back yard. His Great Aunt Ellen bought him the plaid overalls and he looked soooo cute!

I am so thankful for the wonderful weather we have been having. Owen and I go outside every day for walks with his wagon or to play at the park. O loves to be outside. He is really turning into a pleasant little boy. His new favorite foods are cucumber and yogurt. It didn't take long to also discover that he loves ice cream. :) His vocabulary includes Da Da, Mommy, hot, hi and yeah. He laughs and smiles all the time and will make friends with just about anyone. He loves going with me to the grocery store and riding in the front of the cart. Friday we went to the store and he talked very loudly from the moment we entered the store to the moment we left. He waved at everyone and got a lot of attention. The sounds and pitches that come out of this kids mouth are hysterical. He gets very animated when he talks and pretty much doesn't stop all day. When he wakes up in the morning or from a nap he just sits in his crib and squeals and talks to himself for at least 15 minutes. He is just the funniest kid. He keeps us laughing every day. We are constantly blown away at how blessed we are and with how wonderful our son is.

P.S. True Confession: This morning at church I was looking down at Owen's hair at church and felt envious over the light blond coloring. I realized that when I was his age I too had blond hair and didn't have to pay for it. :)
