Handsome As Can Be!

Owen is as HANDSOME AS CAN BE! He is such a doll! Sometimes I want to pinch myself to wake-up. I cannot believe that I'm the mother of these two beautiful children. I feel so young and yet I'm the one who cares for them and is bringing them up - what a responsibility! I'm proud as can be, but I'm thinking that pride in your children is acceptable! Can't wait to see how he grows up and the woman he'll marry!

LIVELY AMONG THE LILACS

You probably won't believe it, but this was our first year experiencing the Lilac Festival.

I think Mommy enjoyed it most, with the kids tied for 2nd and Daddy in dead last. We should have communicated beforehand about our hopes for the afternoon. Mommy wanted to stay among the blossoms and soak in the smell of the blossoms and Daddy would have enjoyed a nice family walk along the paved path.

Despite our differences we got some cute shots of the kiddos. It was crowded and hard to keep ahold of the two as they wanted to run all over and given that the bushes are on a hill we had some tumbling and rolling with laughter mixed in. "LIVELY AMONG THE LILACS" is how you could describe Lauren and Owen. I think their listening was impaired because their eyes and noses were overstimulated by the vision and fragrance of the lilacs.
