Owen Fix

Bryan: “Owen, time to get dressed.”

Owen: “Are you CRAZY? I’m playing with my trains.”

   

  

Persistence 

Owen: “Can I hold the hedge trimmer?”

Bryan: “No. It’s not safe.” 

Owen: “Can I hold the hedge trimmer?”

Bryan: “No.” 

Owen: “Can I hold the hedge trimmer?”

Bryan: “No.” 

Owen: “Can I hold the hedge trimmer?”

Bryan: “No.” 

Owen: “Can I hold the hedge trimmer?”

   
 

Happy birthday, Bryan!

We love you so much. Can’t wait to see what the next year brings for you!

Photos from home 

From New York, I asked Bryan (who was in Chicago until the day before yesterday), to send me a photo from home. Now I’m sharing it with you, wherever you may be (if you’re reading this, you’re likely in Nebraska). Hope we are all together again soon!

 

Snuggle up

Our new king-sized bed is very popular among the littles…

  

(Also, note Sleeping Bunny has been returned to her rightful owner, thankfully!)

Someone forgot their glasses when they left for their business trip… Don’t worry, Daddy. They are totally safe!

 

 
  

Overheard

“Look, Mommy! All my planes are holding hands!”

  

And summer starts

The girls wrapped up a great school year today. First and fourth grades are in the books! 

  

  

And since it’s Thursday, here’s a throwback to the beginning of the year – just nine months ago.

What do you think – do they look older and wiser?

Summer camps – gymnastics, art, STEM/science, and music – begin next week. Piano and gymnastics classes continue, but it should be a relatively low key season (for those not yet old enough to drive…).
