All you folks out there that ate turkey...look how cute this guy is! You know the saying "you are what you eat" I guess I will look like a big soybean! I think I would choose a soybean compared to the alternative! Yhis is a pretty interesting picture huh? Bet someone could have been creative carving this one.

Owen has started holding onto rattles so well here in the last couple of days. I don't think he really knows what he is doing though. It's more like it gets put in his hand and he grips it and does not let go. He is starting to reach for his toys when he hangs out on his belly though. More so I guess just scattering them about not so much grabbing them.

I worked a couple opf days this week while Leslie visited her family in Montana. Owen was so good for me. He slept a couple of hours for me during the day and then both days fell asleep before I had to close up the shop! It was so nice not having to occupy him while trying to close up the store. Thanks lil' man. We had some good play time at the store too. This is us "working hard".

happy thanksgiving

hi all, hope everyones bellies are full and enjoyed your day no matter what the day brought ya. Thanks Staci for preparing a wonderful meal. We had a great time and yummy leftovers. Thanks. Getting ready to go to work, just wanted to throw out some "holiday cheer".

9 week wellness check

Owen had his wellness visit today and let me tell you how well he is!! He is 29 inches long and weighs 14lbs 8oz! WOWZERS! He has doubled in weight and grown 9 inches. When the Dr. walks in and says "well hello no neck chunkers" then ya know he is a chunk! But that is totaly fine with me. Better than the opposite! He is in the 90th percentile of everything. That's my boy! I am actually working today so I am unable to post any pictures. Just thought i would get the latest info out to ya all while it is still hot news.
Happy Day of Thanks to all of you and enjoy your time whether it be with your family or all hunkered down in a mound of pillows (Becky). I am not sure what the day brings forth for my wing of the family but I can assure you I will not be eating any bird! Maybe Tofurkey though.
I am working today and friday. I had to pack bags for an all day outing. I felt like I was packing for an army. And of course it was pouring down rain so that only adds to the layers and bulk. I hope I brought enough dipers! Check out Lily Toad where I am filling in while Leslie goes to visit family.
I promise I will load up a bunch of pictures tomorrow.

Owen has started reaching out for things. Although I have to put the rattle in his hand he holds onto it, for a second!

So I have officially become domesticated! I have joined a "sewing circle". It is really fun so far I learnes how to use my "handy knitter" and have made 3 hats! I am going tonight to brush up on crocheting so I can make matching scarves. Guess what is for Christmas everyone!? I am going to try my hands at rag rugs and I really want to make a snugglie for Owen. This is a hat that I made him, although it is a bit funny, it reminds me of the hats snipers wear in the woods. (only colorful!)

Finley and Henrietta are starting to play. It is really cute. I did not have much faith in it but it is beginning to happen. Y eah! Henrietta got spayed last week and was irritating her sutures so we put a cone on her. It is horrible but I know but it is so hard not to laugh at her! She still tries so hard to snuggle but a hard plastic cone is not very condusive to snuggling!

In one of Henrietta's frisky moments she went tearing throught the house and and jumped on the Owens bouncy ball...as well her claws are not very condusive to rubber balls. :)
