He Looks How I Feel!

I think Owen is ready to begin feeding himself! What do you think? The truth is, in this picture he looks like I feel at this point in the semester! Finals are next week and while I only have two exams, the papers that have been turned in over the past few weeks have been rewarding to write but somewhat overwhelming as well! One week until the semseter is over though and then I'lll take a deep breath, take Aimee on a date, play a round of golf, and go fly-fishing. And that will all occur in the first four days after my last exam! Then it will be back to reality as I catch up on work and begin two summer classes. It is a never-ending river that is both refreshing and fast-moving.

Our Explorer

Owen loves to explore our kitchen. He thinks that all of mom's cooking things are his toys. He also assumes that he is able to do just about anything Jacob can. In his mind he should be able to do things such as ride a bike or climb a ladder. And we have found him attempting both of these. On the positive side he likes to read and sing just like his brother. Yesterday he was sitting alone in his room with books all around him making sounds as he "read!"

Our New Blog

Our new blog is initiated by our new skiier! Jacob has hit the slopes this year and loves every minute of it. Our latest trip was on the final day of skiing at Copper Mountain and Jacob was skiing from top to bottom. He went so fast at times we were a little concerned he wouldn't stop in time for the chairlift! However, he transitioned nicely from his "french-fry" position (skis straight down the mountain) to his "slice of pizza" and slowed to a stop.
