Video Time

We've taken some videos recently that we just had to share! I just added two of them.

Here is Owen singing "Tis So Sweet" while drumming. He also says "Bang!" a lot and maybe even "Tackle Bang" (I forget if it's in this video that he adds the tackle in, but he's been doing that a lot. At first I thought he was saying "Taco Bang.")



Baxter watching his first Elmo's World DVD.

Trip to Harrisonburg

We took a little road trip this weekend to my parents house in Harrisonburg. My brother Brett and his wife Carolyn and their two kiddos - Anna (2 1/2) and Jake (7 1/2 months) where down from Connecticut for the weekend. We enjoyed some great time just hanging out and chatting. Most of all, it was a joy to see Owen and Anna love each other A LOT and play WITH each other - peacefully for the most part!! We love you guys!

Here are the four cousins sitting on the couch. We missed you FL Gillan Cousins!!



Owen and Anna playing outside.



Gramma had some fun puppets that Owen enjoyed - especially this turtle one!



This is a video of Owen and Anna playing ring around the rosie outside.

Running

One of our favorite things to do is still going for family runs. Usually that consists of me, Owen and Baxter while Matt is at work. Today when we were about 3/4 of the way through our run, Owen said, "Mommy, when we get home can we run again?" I guess for him it was an easy ride! Needless to say, we did not go for a second run!

Here are the boys today when we got back.





Baxter is wearing a great hat that his friend Noah sent to him from Peru. Thanks Salvatierras!!

Two Cowboys

For halloween this year, we dressed the boys up as cowboys (NOT the football team!) and took them to a fall harvest celebration at a church nearby. Unfortunately there were a lot of loud games (namely balloon darts!) at the celebration, so our stay was short. We did however enjoy some time with a few of Owen's friends from playgroup and their parents before we left.

Here are some pictures of the cowboys before we left. They both fell asleep on the way home, so precious.

A little Baxter fun

Here are some recent photos of Baxter - he's a joy to us! Very busy and investigative. And oh so sweet. Enjoy!

Baxter really loves playing with this toy - Owen always enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as Baxter loves it! Sometimes they enjoy playing with it together.



We now know why they make these plastic covers for outlets.



He has been able to stand up in his crib for a while now, I am just now getting around to posting this picture.
