May 2013




The start of spring has brought us some sunny and warmer days, which has allowed us to get outside and enjoy the day. Owen has started soccer, which keeps us very busy on Tuesday and Thursdays running from school, swimming lessons and then soccer practice. He seems to enjoy it but we knew he would since he basically can run for a straight hour, the kid has so much energy so this is the perfect sport for him. Harper sits on the sidelines, soaking up the sun and cheers her big brother on. She might be the cutest cheerleader around.

Owen is enjoying school and learning so much that Darren and I might have to go back to school for a refresher course just to keep up with his smartness! He is pretty good with numbers and can add and subtract with the best of them. I just asked him what 2 + 4 is and he said 6 (not bad) and what 5-3 is and he said 8...hmmmm. I asked him to tray again and he told me 2. Much better, its a work in progress! :)

School has also brought other distractions such as cute girls dressed in pink. Owen is in love with a girl named Isla (the doctors daughter..good pick O Dog). He has told us that she has kissed him and that he is going to marry her. He saved his ring he got from the dentist office and brought it to school the other day and gave it to her.  Seriously how sweet is that. At least he is off the thought of wanting to marry his sister.

Harper is now sporting two pearly whites in her mouth and likes to show them to you when you ask, she also likes to take a bite of your finger if you decide to put it anywhere near her mouth. She is kind of like a snapping turtle! She also scoots backwards while encouraging her to crawl forward. If you leave her long enough you will find her underneath the couch. Fishing her out is a pretty funny task in itself. She loves to sit up in her stroller and grocery cart giving all passerbys her cute smile and spreading her happy go lucky personality. She truly is a sweet, sweet girl. Such a happy baby, just like her brother.

We are looking forward to a visit from my mom and dad the end of June! Yay!
