A look back

The view from my office window

I am fortunate enough to have an amazing view of Owen's daycare from my office window. I finally remembered to bring the camera to work so i can share what i see almost every day!

Here's Owen's group walking to the playground for their morning play. Owen's the second one in line after the adult near the black fence, wearing a red snowsuit and a blue hat.

And here they are playing. Owen's on the right side out in the open a bit.

"That's Mister Cowboy to you"

Painting and of course, hockey.

During the holidays we finished the baby's nursery with Owen's help of course. He insisted on helping with the painting part. He was completely happy using a clean, unused roller on the walls while his daddy did the real painting.

I managed to snap a few pictures of Owen while he played hockey with Scott last night. Owen is obsessed with hockey right now. Our kitchen floor is starting to show much wear with dark knicks out of it from his mini sticks, but oh well! It just gives us an excuse to re-do the kitchen soon!

Nothing better...

What could be better than being woken up in bed by a sweet little two year old saying 'Momma? Momma? Mornin momma!'? The answer: a sweet little two year old saying 'Momma? Momma? Mornin momma!' while handing over hot from the oven cinammon buns! That's how my morning started today. It can't get even an inch better than that.

Changes

Our household is undergoing many changes right now and Owen is dealing with them incredibly well so far. Owen's baby brother is coming in a few months and so we've started to redo the spare bedroom. When we explain to Owen what we're doing he seems to understand that the new baby will sleep in there when he comes. We even dismantled Owen's crib yesterday and set up his big boy bed in his room. Last night he slept the whole night through without falling off (barely though!) and even fell asleep in regular time when it was bedtime. He never stops amazing us! A special thank you to his grandma and grandpa for the Thomas bedsheets! Hopefully he's this easygoing when the new baby arrives!

Christmas 2008

We spent Christmas Eve at Owen's aunt's house and we ate and ate until we couldn't anymore. Owen got a Thomas the Tank train set that he hasn't stopped playing with yet. He just loves his trains!

Christmas Day we opened our own gifts and Owen was so excited i thought he would end up running into a wall and splitting his head open or something. We've never seen him so excited! He behaved perfectly the whole day and never even had a break down. What an amazing kid!

Last night (Christmas night) Owen woke up with a terrible cough and was weezing and gasping for air. Since my sister used to have the croupe when she was a baby i knew from my mom telling me about it that Owen might have the croupe so we immediately took him outside into the cold air. That seemed to settle him down and he finally fell asleep in our bed for the night. Today he was diagnosed with a viral infection which is causing his lungs to struggle for air. He's back on a puffer for about two weeks. We're just thankful he didn't get this earlier and that it's not asthma or anything. Here are some pictures from that last few days:
