I'll be Home for Christmas







Enjoying my early Christmas present from Grandma



Sprinkling reindeer dust so Santa can find me at Grandma's






Thanks Uncle Teddy and Aunt Kelli

I love the fish!






Yes, Molly, we know. You were the one to put him to sleep :)






Bye, Bye Grandpa! I had a wonderful visit!

We had a wonderful time back in Michigan for Owen's first Christmas. We stayed at the Piepkows the entire time since my parents were in Florida. Owen was spoiled rotten and had a great time! Owen has also come into his own over these past two weeks; crawling all over, starting to pull himself up, and saying 'hi' on any cell phone, whether you want him to take yours or not. Unfortunately, he has also picked up some bad habits. We have already broken him of the 4:30 am wake up calls with Grandpa Zippy, but he still likes to whine when he doesn't get his way and worst of all, he enjoys hitting anyone who is in distance right in their face. What happened to our sweet boy?? He is also becoming a lot more vocal and points to things and says bah-dah for everything. Not sure what this is supposed to mean...

Inexpensive Taste

Owen had so much fun riding around in this box! Thinking that we may have to get him a wagon for his first birthday so he doesn't think we are too cheap when he's older :)

Happy Halloween

Putting the costume on for the first time.
Is this how you want me to pose?

What is this??


It's hard to get them both to pose at the same time.



It stayed on Marlow longer than it stayed on Owen :)






Helping mom pass out candy!So I decided to go with the traditional pumpkin costume for Owen's first Halloween. I figured that I will have years of super heroes ahead of me, so I might as well get the cute ones in while I can! He did awesome in his costume (all 45 minutes he stayed in it) and even got to see a few trick-or-treaters before bedtime. I think he had the most fun playing in the candy bowl!

Chicago!




Hanin' with GiGi!


Aunt Megan!



Watching the sunrise from the plane. Tried to get the skyscrapers in the background, but wasn't quick enough!


Last weekend, Owen had his first trip to the big city! Mom accidentally booked the wrong flight time, and we ended up taking off at 6 a.m. It was an early start to an amazing weekend with family and friends. Not only did mom book the wrong flight, but I also forgot to charge the camera. So, I only have a couple of pics on my camera. But not worries, GiGi took tons so we were able to capture the memory (just maybe not digitally on the blog).



We didn't do too many city things, instead we went to the MSU/Northwestern game. It was a ton of fun and GiGi got to babysit! Everyone was happy! Next time we'll have to see more of the city, but I don't think he would've appreciated it anyway :)



And maybe next time someone will stop and say "oh, what a cute baby" to GiGi as she's walking :)

Pumpkin Patch




"Look at dad's shadow looming over me."


"Hangin' with my dad."



"Mom, the sun is in my eyes!"




"She thinks my tractor's sexy..."




















"This looks like a good one."








"I guess I'll eat mulch for dinner. We finally made it to a pumpkin patch! We have been talking about this since before we had a kid, yes we are that weird couple!! We had to go at what is normally Owen's bedtime (5:00) since no other time worked this weekend. That being said, we didn't get the cutest pictures, but they capture the moment and the season. That's what is important...right? This pumpkin patch is probably not one that we will visit again, but it did the job. Next year maybe we will make it to the mountains and get even better pictures. Now if only I could find a Halloween costume for him...









Crawling...almost




Saturday morning we discovered that we could crawl...in reverse! It happened by accident. Owen was stretching as far as he could stretch for a toy and he fell over from a sitting position into a crawling position. At first, Owen was extremely upset. But I decided to see if he could figure it out, and he did! He completed an entire circle in reverse and ended up getting caught under the ottoman. But hey, we have progress! Baby gets will need to soon be purchased.
