Kids Pictures






Goal was to get Owen's three month pictures taken and all three together for Christmas cards. What sounds like something simple turned into an ordeal... the place was running about 20 min behind, but they saidthey were not behind when we walked in. So by the time they started to take pictures Owen was not happy we got alot of him crying especiallywhen we tried to put him in the present box. I caught some flack for scheduling pictures the same time the Ohio State game was on, the calendar said noon,it did not help they were loosing, but thankfully pulled off a win.

Been a while....

It has been over a year since our last post. We have moved to Twinsburg to the new house and in December found out we were expecting....that is what they say new house, new baby. Owen Carl was born August 6th, 2010. We all are adjusting well, now just about three months old he is sleeping through the night and is growing like crazy. The last dr apt he was 75%tile in weight 13lbs 4.5oz,90%tile in length 23 1/2 inches. Sammy and Hannah love him and spoil him so much. Sammy is in sixth grade and very busy with show choir, dance, basketball, and now drama..she got a part in the school play. Hannah is going to preschool 3 days a week and keeping mom on her toes...her most recent trick is that she wants to change her name to Rosie and is very insistant that we call her that. She is definently a creative little girl. I found her placing small pieces of paper that she scribbled on out the patio door, she told me they were invitations for the ants to a party. She woke up one morning and told me she was going to take a helicopter to sillyland where she belongs, and she had a family there that looked just like all of us. I am not sure where she comes up with these things. well off to tend to the littliest Kurt.
