Gonna miss this!

It is very handy for your mother to be a photographer but I am definitly going to miss her being so close. It's kindof funny that the last few days I have not taken any pictures of Mr. Owen and all I could do before was take pictures of him...I promise not to let that become a habit(mother). Last night was the first night that lil man had me up every 2 hours. Today was a bit rough. I knew I was a bit spoiled with the whole sleeping 5 hours and all I was just hoping it would last a bit longer. Mike is going back to work in the a.m. so tomorrow is my first day all alone with Owen. I hope the weather holds out so I can walk to town or take Finley to the park for some sanity! Wish me well!

Are these wrinkles not the cutest thing ever? During this photo shoot I got peed on, pooped on and spit up on each at least one time. I just kept saying that it is a good thing that he came out of my body and I love him other wise I would be pretty grossed out by it.

Owen and Grandpa

Dads visit was way too short but we enjoyed every minute he was here. This was the little mans expression upon meeting his grandpa! (well not really...it is his "I am concentrating on taking a poop" look) But is was within the first few minutes of meeting his grandpa! We did not have alot of time to do much while dad was here but he did get to go fishing with Mike and Mom wanted to show him Last Thursday. The expressions on his face were great when the Naked Jousters on 6 foot bikes were throwing pies at eachother in the middle of the street! That is not something that happens EVER in Indiana! Most of the other time was spent hanging out on the front porch and staring at Owen. It is so easy to waste away a day just looking at him. He is so beautiful and it is amazing to ponder the thoughts that could be going through his mind. Mom and I have taken soo many pictures of the first 2 weeks of his life and we have still not been able to catch one of his "smiles". Although this is a pretty cute one. He sleeps with his hands over his heart....just makes your heart melt doesn't it?!? Well I am missing out on my sleep so I must go...just wanted to update a bit while I had a second. Now that mom and dad are gone we are going to try to get into a routine. (not that I am happy at all I miss them immensly already but I am am anxious to get into a routine) Hopefully that routine includes a few minutes a day to get online and catch up with some of you folks that have been sending us your love and very patient for a reply. Until next time...peace and love.

Owens funny expressions

This little man makes so many funny faces and it seems that I can not take enough pictures. What did folks do before digital photography? Here are just a few of his expressions....enjoy.

In the homebirth kit there was an inkpad to do the footprints but the midwives did not do it...whether they were supposed to or not I am not sure but we took it upon ourselves to attempt it! It was successful but messy. We were both covered in ink by the time we were through.
