the whirl wind we call life

So, our trip was good. Now we are back. The end. Just kidding, of course. there is much more to It than that. I will gradually catch everyone up on the last month. Owen is walking, running and talking now. No more leisure time. He is a very busy boy, with no fear at that! That means I am on call 24/7.
So as soon as we got home from our trip I went to work "full time". Which is great. Leslie at

Lily Toad offered me "manager". which means more hours basically. A few more responsibilities too but a wonderful opp. I take Owen in with me and get experience running the show. So I have had no down time. Here are just a few pics from our trip.

Here is a tease! There are more to come of Owen feeding himself and playing guitar and blowing kisses. Currently the battery is charging on the camera so I couldn't finish uploading the video on the computer. Boo. I know. Sorry. Patience. Love, love.

On our way back from Mollola

We went a back road on the way back from Mollola and saw a great goat farm. I loved it. We also saw a great sign. The "Liberal Country Store" Nice, huh?! That place was a bit strange. Also this odd electrical panel down the street from our house that I just discovered today. It's a grey panel and it has a duck on it and says "midwest" weird? I thought so. I guess being from the midwest it hit me stranger than the average Joe!

deghan's bday

On sunday we went to a friends 1st bday. Owen and Deghan have become good friends lately.

wow, busy weekend

SOOO many pics to post and I don't really feel like commenting on all of them. So I will paraphrase. On Saturday we went to Mollola for mama baby gathering. Amy lives by the river and we took a short hike to check it out. (Amy, Mike is still trying to figure out what kind of critter we saw. He is actually sitting right now with his NW Field Guide! He is determined it was a mink) It was really beautiful there and great to see all the babes getting so big. Owen is the only walker as of yet. But many are on their way. Here are the river shots and a bunch of other cuties.
