Owen and a few of his hairy friends

Up, up and away!

Kick your feet and learn how to swim

15 Month Update

We just got back from our "first official" family vacation with Darren, Owen and I. We spent the week in sunny Marco Island, Florida. Complements of my Uncle Ken and Aunty Sue's beautiful 2 bedroom condo right on one of Marco Island's many canals. We had such a fun and relaxing week and we both know Owen truly enjoyed himself.

We woke up bright and early every morning, thanks to the O-Dog and had some breakfast out on the lanai. Then slathered on the sunscreen and head out to the beach which was less then 5 minutes away. Owen enjoyed playing in the sand with his shovels and building sandcastles with Dad. He also was getting good at sneaking a scoop or two of sand every so often into his mouth. Yummm. Good stuff going in, even better stuff coming out! Owen also loved the very nice pool their complex has and floated in his floaty and found much fun in filling up and dumping out the pool water in a plastic water bottle. While of course taking a gulp or two along the way. Oh to be 1 year old again!

We had great lunches at several of the Marco "hot-spots" chickee bars and sat outside to listen to live music, smell the ocean water and ate some very good fresh fish. We spent a day in Naples, drove to the Corkscrew Conservatory and watched several breathtaking sunsets. All in all it was a wonderful and memorable family vacation! Thank you again to Aunty Sue and Uncle Ken for sharing their condo with us. We had a GREAT TIME!!! Don't forget to take a peek at all the vacation videos I posted before and after this post!

Owen is really turning into a "BOY". I guess that was going to happen, huh? He is starting to look like a little boy now and not so much like a baby. Which of course makes his mommy very sad! His hair, as I always say, is starting to come in (yeah right) as a mixture of light brown and light blonde, so not sure what the final color outcome will be.

He is starting to have a mind of his own when going in his car seat when he doesn't want to be there. He will scream at the top of his lungs to show us his displeasure. We turn up the car radio and Owen screams louder. Not sure how that is even possible, but he does it anyways. Is there a way to stop this insanity! :)

We are looking forward to the summer this year! Can't wait for the warmer weather to begin! Love and Kisses to you all!

Hold your breath!
