Owen is four and three-quarters, but he insists he’s really four and five-quarters. Also, he’s not loving having his picture taken these days, and “this frosting is too sweet. And why is it salty?!”

Blog neglect
I received a message on my phone from WordPress a moment ago, noting that my blog stats were “booming.” Curious, as it’s been about four years since I’ve posted anything. However, I think I found the interested parties…
I do have great content to share! I’ll do it soon. Stay tuned.

Owen, overheard.
Regarding takeoff: “The cars look like Hot Wheels and the houses look like doll houses and I love this part. Oh, actually, I’m scared of this part…”
On earworms: “Mom, my brain is playing rock and roll.”
On danger, generally: “I had a dream that I had suction cup shoes and I could walk up anything. I want real suction cup shoes.”

Show and share
Bryan spent a snowy week in Steamboat for a conference last week. Everybody missed him, but especially Owen. For show and share at preschool Friday, I sent a photo of Bryan that hangs in our room–it was taken when we were 19, while visiting the Rocky Mountains. Owen LOVES this photo, and he asks frequently when it was taken.
“Where was I?” You weren’t born yet, remember? “So I was still in your tummy?” No. We didn’t even know about you yet. “But WHERE WAS I?”
In our dreams, kiddo.

Christmas 2016
We were joined my mom and Dave and Gramma and Grandpa Great for Christmas Eve at our house in Kansas again this year. Santa found the kids, despite a year of rather questionable antics…
Then, on Christmas morning, we headed north to spend a few days with Bryan’s family.
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Santa knows.
We ran into Santa in Elmwood a couple of weeks ago. Requests included a new phone, a puppy and a motorized dirt bike. (I’ve sent a letter in follow up.)

Happy Halloween!
Gramma’s fall 2016 collection includes Cruella DeVille, Owen the fire chief, and the Queen of Hearts–another triple in the books!
Ava’s black dress is absolutely gorgeous – this will definitely be a staple for this girl in the coming months. She was afraid her wig made her look a little bit crazy – but I reminded her that her muse was indeed insane.
When Olivia opened her costume, she proclaimed it the best yet. I might have to agree.
And sweet Owen. When I asked him to smile, he told me “firemens don’t smile.” (Later, when I told him that firemen don’t cry, he said “they do when they are children.”)
This kid LOVES his costume.
Thanks so much, Mom! Happy Halloween, everyone.
