The Apple Festival

Yesterday was our very first trip to the Apple Festival. After all these years in Georgia I've never been. We went early in the morning which was a very good idea since the place was packed with people. There were lots of arts and crafts and delicious food. We bought some Apple Butter and tried it on pancakes this morning...Delicious!

So tired after a long day.

Berry Patch Farms

Today we spent the morning at Berry Patch Farms in Woodstock. We had fun looking at the pumpkins, animals and especially the tractors. Owen was pointing at them and waving to the drivers most of the time we were there. It was a lot of fun.

Poor Owey

Since Sunday Owen has been feeling bad and running a fever. He had a runny nose and a cough for a week already so I was thinking it had to be something else, but I wasn't sure. I thought it might pass on it's own but Monday night he was still feeling bad with a persistent fever. Tuesday I took Owen to see his doctor and the poor guy has a bad ear infection in both ears. I hope he will feel better in the next day or two. Oh ya, to make things worse, on Tuesday morning Garett was carrying Owen down stairs and slipped and fell down the stairs. Garett's shoulder is hurt and two of Owen's teeth went into his lip. It looks bad. I don't know what to do to keep it from ulcering. Any one know what I can do? Keep in mind this is for a 1-year old.

Our Weekend

This past weekend we went and spent the weekend in South Carolina with Mom, Tim, Wendi and Marilee. It was such a nice visit. We had a chance to relax, catch up and play. Owen did most of the playing. He had lots of fun watching the horses and chickened out when Renegade tried to sniff him. He pushed Marilee up and down the back yard in her stroller and played with one of the neighbors dogs. His favorite of it all was playing on the tractors. There was the John Deer Zero turn big tractor and then the smaller riding mower. He liked the smaller one the best because he could reach the wheel better. Mom made great food as usual and Tim and Garett worked on making the mini van look incredible. It's amazing how much of a difference a good cleaning and polishing can do. Wendi had to work on Saturday, but after that we got to spend the rest of the time together. One thing we learned from this trip is that the back roads are not always the best ones to take. On the way there we got stuck in some back woods traffic and the lower speed limit extended our trip by an entire hour. We won't do that again.

Hurray!

I think she looks a lot more like Wendi now than when she was born.

Owen must have spent hours opening and closing the sliding door.
You can see all the hand prints he left.

Marilee is constantly on the go.

Some how I managed to miss taking pictures of a lot of the fun moments this weekend. Mom and Wendi, send me pictures!

Baby Update

So here I am in my 11th week. I am still super tired but the nausea is next to nothing. I prefer tired over the two, but I hope to have my energy back in a week or two. I am enjoying a 2 to 3 hour nap every day and mostly a full nights sleep too. I'm grateful that Owen is a good napper. I don't know what I'd do if he weren't. I can feel the baby moving every once in a while and my belly is starting to poke out just a little. At about week 20 we hope to find out the gender of the baby and make sure we have what we need and start thinking of names.
We are up for suggestions.

Popscicles!

I just had to post these pictures for a few reasons. First the lighting was awesome and I wish I was paying enough attention to know what was different about this particular day, maybe it was over cast. And the other.. for any mom out there.. I love these popsicles for Owen. They are called Bollitos. I always find them in the Spanish food section at Publix. They are great because you pop them open by breaking them in half (no scissors) and they are made rounded at the edges so it doesn't cut the sides of your mouth. Give them a try!

Owey Outside

The weather is taking a turn for the better here in GA. Owen and I took some quiet time outside and enjoyed some water time. I have so much fun watching him explore all the things around him. And it is always interesting to see how differently he will use the items I give him.
