long lost blog
i know i know, im not doing a very good job keeping up with my blogging. i do read everyone elses blogs every day, then go about my business and forget to update mine. ill try to be more consistent, for my 3 followers out there!
the last few weeks have been packed full of fun for us. we got to travel to texas and owen met all of nathans side of the family, including a great grandma and great granddaddy, very fun! here are a few pics of that...
owen did SO good on the plane. i was very nervous about flying with him, but he was incredible. i fed him during take off and landing, and he slept through all 4 flights (layovers..). i was a proud mommy. he also got to meet aunt kristen and aunt kerry, heres a pic of those beautiful girls...
since we have been home, nathan and i have both had midterms and have been quite busy around the house. i have a 5 page book review due tonight, which would explain why ive cleaned out my closet and have decided to blog. im the master procrastinator.
owen is doing so good. he got a little colicy for a week, so i have him on 5 mLs of gripe water every time i feed him. it works like a charm! also gets rid of hiccups within 30 seconds, heavenly! he is getting so perceptive and responsive, its insane. he currently wants to take everything and put it in his mouth. he also REALLY likes to be held, though im trying not to all the time. he sat in his bouncy seat and his bumbo seat for the first time today. hes finally got a little more head control so we can try a few more things. i got a little video of that for that fam, so here it is!
spring break is next week and nathan is going to LOVE not getting up at 6:30am every morning for greek. im looking forward to spending a little more time with him too!

march madness
March is quite the crazy month for us, and I love it! The Martin family came to visit this weekend and we LOVED seeing them! We also did a baby shower at our place for Lana and Jenny from church, which was so fun. Anything involving a chocolate fondu fountain is destined for greatness. We also had Bible study here last night, which was great! This Thursday we leave to go to Texas for a few days, and I am so excited about Owen meeting some family and friends. I am especially excited about him meeting the twins, his aunt kerry and aunt kristen! yay!
This is a wonderful picture of Owen making his way out of his swing. I'm not a horrible mother, I promise. I sat and watched him do the whole thing, so he wasnt in danger at all! We havent had to buckle him in because he never moved much. Needless to say, he will be buckled in from now on!
This was going to be a long blog, but Titus is annoying the jeebers out of me to take him on a walk. Its a beautiful day outside, so I'll give in. Just gotta get Owen loaded up...

Family Visit!
I feel like I havent updated my blog in forever, but since Kristen told me she saw my videos, I realized that people actually read this thing! I'll try to be more diligent!
Mom, Dad, and Aunt Margie came to visit from Florida this weekend. It was a wonderful visit! Nathan, Owen, and I got spoiled as usual. Last night we went to a Mongolian Grill in Louisville, and it was fantastic! I would go as far as to say that it was as good as The Dish in Tampa, and that is saying a lot! Mom and Aunt Margie took me shopping, which was fabulous, and Grandma and Grandpa got lots of time with sweet little Owen. He loves their voices and smiled a lot.
Grandpa got a big mouthed smile picture, which I've been trying to get for a month now!
Owen is really congested this morning and it makes me so sad! There is just something about my little baby being sick that isnt right! He woke up needing to poop, super congested, and with the hiccups. Needless to say, it may have been his least favorite morning of his life so far! He ate and went back to sleep, which I imagine he will do all day.
My sister has been on my mind constantly for the past week, as she lost her good friend Will recently. He was one of the three guys lost at sea on their fishing boat last weekend. It is horribly sad, but even more awful that I can't be there with my sissy. I love you, sis. I have prayed for you and thought about you constantly.
I'm off to clean house and get organized for the week. Nathan and I are very excited about the Martins and their boys coming to visit from Texas this upcoming weekend!

Professional Pics
So we finally did it. Though I meant to schedule professional pictures when Owen was quite younger, we finally went and got them taken! They turned out great, I was very pleased! We went and bought Owen a special "picture day" outfit, which turned out super cute. Dont worry friends and family, I ordered plenty of pics, and theyll be coming in the mail in a few weeks!
Meanwhile, Owen has had quite the upset tummy lately. It got pretty bad last week, so I took him to the doctor. His poop was lime green, I'm sure everyone wanted to know that :) The doc thinks he might be allergic to milk protein, so no more dairy for me. I drink a lot of milk, eat a lot of cheese, and like yogurt as well. But hey, it means I wont be able to eat oreos and milk every night, which could work well for me!
My mom, dad, and aunt Margie are all coming to visit this weekend and I am very excited! I have to keep myself from cleaning too early, because then I'll just do it all again right before they get here. The Martins are coming the weekend after, then we will be traveling to Texas the next weekend! Quite a busy time for us! We are very excited though, especially since we get to share Owen with all of our relatives and good friends. I can't wait!
Nathan is getting very excited about going to Nepal in May. We are sending out support letters this week. We have to raise about $3,000 for the trip. Yikes. But God is faithful and always provides. Nathan can't wait to help train pastors in a country around the world. And Owen and I will have a good time in Florida with grandma, grandpa, and aunt sissy.
I've got a lot of homework this week and a BIG test as well. I will be thoroughly thrilled when I'm done with this masters degree! Only a few more months!

Growin Owen
Nathan just started trying to make Owen laugh by saying "growin owen mowin sewin towin knowin..." you get the point. Owen thinks its quite humorous, and I get a kick out of Nathan running out of rhyming words.
Nathan's mom, Owen's Nana, flew in from Texas this weekend and it was a wonderful visit! Aside from Owen having gas on Saturday night and Sunday morning, he was magnificent (we think its black beans.. I'll never eat them again!). We did dinners with Nathan in Indiana and hung out with Owen at the house. It was a great time!
Here's a lovely picture of Titus sleeping on his bed. Please excuse his lack of modesty! Unfortunately, he's getting more of this than exercise lately. Once it warms up, he'll be going on lots of walks with me and Owen. Until then, it's more of this.
The Bachelor is tonight, YES!!! It's the weird episode where the "girls tell all" and all that stuff. I'm excited, but not near as excited as next week! I know it probably wont happen, but it would be great if Jason actually stays with the girl that he chooses. He seems like such a cool guy, he deserves to settle down!
I can't remember if I've mentioned in my blog that Owen scratches himself if he doesnt have his mittens on. It drives me nuts. I'd love to let him use his fingers more, but the second his mittens are off, he starts clawing his face. He got one of his mittens off during the night last week and woke up with three big scratches on his forehead. It's crazy! Hopefully he will grow out of it or something.
Aaaaand here's another video for the fam. Once again, please don't feel obligated to watch. It's just me and Owen talking to each other, nothing too exciting! Peace.
