Nine years!

It is hard to believe that we've been married (and living in Michigan) for 9 years! Adam even has a bad head cold in honor of the sinus infection and midnight trip to the Emergency Room on the night before our wedding. We got sushi takeout (yet another food we will miss!) for our anniversary lunch. It was so cute to see Max wolfing down his "Canyafornia" roll.

Coffee blast how I will miss thee

I'm getting a little weepy about leaving all the good food behind.

Can you get bi-bim-bop in South Dakota?

Owen Update - 10.5 weeks

Owen is growing like crazy! At his 2 month appointment he weighed 14lbs 10oz. He is well into his 6 month size clothes and his medium Fuzzi Bunz! He is quickly moving out of the snuggly stage (So soon! I am resigned to be a mother of boys with hard, fast-moving parts.) He really likes kicking his legs and practicing standing. He is working on "so big," and his all time favorite activity is sucking/chewing on his fingers. He thinks his family is very funny (especially Mama), and is pretty content to go with the flow. He is lucky as this fast-paced life we are leading lately means he gets to spend lots of time in the Ergo, his favorite spot. Thankfully, he is a good sleeper - in the nighttime and during the day!

Picnic in the Arb

In an effort to keep the house as clean as possible, the boys and I met Daddy for a picnic in the Arb on Monday. The peonies seem to be a little behind this year. I would say only about a quarter of them were blooming. We'll have to check back later in the week. It is a pretty amazing sight when they are all in bloom!


Max and Owen were pretending to be "bees" and buzzing around to all the flowers! Max was doing a great job of pollinating. Here he is with pollen on his face!


Owen and Daddy taking it easy!

We had an open house on Sunday and showings last night and tonight. It is taking a lot of effort to keep this place clean! There seems to be some interest so that is a good thing (but no offers yet)! I hope we can get this house selling thing over quickly It does make for a lot of adventures as I am trying to keep Max out of the house as much as possible. There are lots of fun things to do - hanging with friends, dinosaur museum, hands on museum, parks, and hopefully we'll get to the pool soon. Max is very exciting to get there. I am still trying to figure out how I will keep Max alive while keeping Owen in the shade. I think we can work it out, but it may take some planning - and a large sun hat!

I've posted lots of pictures to Flickr - check them out!
