Thing 1 & Thing 2

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Gramma Jean came home today with these shirts for the kids…

Of course, I have 58 attempted shots of them laughing and playing together—but with one looking away or hands in the way or legs in the way. 🙂 Here’s a video of all of them…

I did get these next two, though, which I thought would look good combined…

So I googled and discovered that Microsoft Live (already on mom’s laptop!) has a feature called Photo Fuse which will let you mix and match heads from photos…so I created this picture!

And then when we left them to their own devices…

And then Katie decided she should check out a sleeping daddy…

Since the weather has been unseasonably cool and we didn’t exactly plan for that, Gramma Jean bought herself a new hoodie…and got one for Owen, too!

He was UNBELIEVABLY excited about it and was tearing around like a mad man. He HAD to have the hood up—and he told gramma she had to have hers up as well.

Toes in the water (in a tide pool, which was a bit warmer and lots calmer)!

Notice the sand around the mouth? Yep, it went in! We let her get some, but tried to prevent the big handfuls. 🙂

Myrtle Beach!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Well, technically Garden City Beach, just south of Myrtle Beach.

It was a trip—so to speak—getting here, as I had to load most of the car myself in the rain and then drive the first hour in a major downpour…but really the drive was uneventful.

Hauling in the first of two carts full:

Then Owen asked grandpa David to go down to the ocean. Gramma Jean and I watched from the 15th floor:

Then I decided to be a good mom and go down and take a few pictures (since Gramma Jean could stay with a napping Katie). This is Owen’s new Aqua-Zooka toy!

Grandma Jean says:

It’s been chilly, but we’ve taken Owen down to the beach and he loves running in and out of the water, even though it is about 52 degrees. His little legs were RED when we brought him back in he first day! He had a smile on his face, so that was worth it. Grampa took him down the first day and was wearing his heavy coat and fur hat while Owen had shorts on.

New food #4!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I’m still shaking my head in disbelief—and excitement!

Tom brought home teriyaki (steak and chicken, fried rice, and fried onions/zucchini) for lunch and I asked Owen twice if he wanted to try the chicken (it was super tender with a really yummy sauce) but he said no. Okay, fine, that’s honestly what I expected.

So as I’m finishing my last bite, he looks over and says “What’s that?” I told him it was the last forkful of rice.

“I try it?”

Wait, what? HE ASKED TO TRY IT?

So I scraped up a few remaining pieces of rice and he ate it…and loved it…and wanted more! I was done, but managed to scrape a few more odds and ends of rice for another mini bite—and he wanted more! I felt bad I didn’t have any more…but who would have thought he’d ASK to try rice?

Grannie said she was making rice for dinner so he could have more then. I kept my fingers crossed that he’d still be interested by then.

Jenny outfit, part 3.

Well, just the jacket, really. 🙂 This is the next item from the Jenny’s-old-clothes-for-Katie drawer. She wasn’t being especially cooperative this morning so no super cute photo.

Then Owen chimed in and said “I want to sit with her!”

And hugging her. I think. Well, at least he’s loving on her even if it really isn’t a hug per se.
