Brothers and Sisters

When Owen wakes up from his naps, Anne loves to go and jump in his crib with him.  Not the most gradual way to wake up for Owen, but most of the time he doesn't seem to mind. They laugh and giggle a lot together.

Beware the giant baby!

I stole this title from my sister after I sent this picture to her.  I can't believe he can fit in this doll stroller.  I doubt it's going to last much longer if he keeps sitting in it!

Another trip to the San Diego Zoo

On Tuesday we met our friends, Liz and Kelly at the San Diego Zoo.  It's such a great place to visit.  I have a feeling we are going to be there often. It so big, I get a good workout just walking around there and pushing the stroller up some gigantic canyon hills.

Here's Anne bobbing up from one of the holes in the ice shelf.

This was the scene on the way home.  Left me with a bit of a conundrum on who to carry up first and who would continue their nap once we got inside.

Sunday Morning, after pics

We met a lot of new people at church on Sunday.  Consequently, we did not have the careful eye on the kids that we usually do.  With Owen running around every which way and Anne playing with the other kids outside, it gets a little crazy.  We were getting ready to leave and realized Anne was not quite where we thought she was.  Jeff went to go looking for her and found her laying on the ground, blood on her face, with a bunch of boys standing around her looking shocked and not knowing what to do.  Jeff said when he showed up the  boys looked pretty nervous and said, "we didn't do it."  Well, we think Anne was chasing after the big boys and likely tripped and fell, landing on her nose!  Isn't 3 too young for boy chasing?

Sunday Morning, Before pic

Owen will now look at the camera and say "cheese."

A Trip to Moonlight Beach

Last weekend we went to Ecinitas, CA to Moonlight Beach.  It was a gorgeous day and the water was quite refreshing.  Jeff and I took turns going out to jump the big waves for a while, it was really fun.  Owen was fearless and loved running in the waves.

Owen and food

Owen has had an explosion in his eating habits lately which I'm very happy about.  I happened to try offering him some broccoli the other nice, on a fork and he ate it.  The next night he cleaned his plate and ate green beans, too!  I was very impressed.    I always give him vegetables, but he seems to pick out the carbs and sometimes a little meat from whatever I have put before him.  Yesterday he ate avocado for the first time.  Anne has always been a big fan, but Owen has refused it for quite a while.  Tonight he chowed down on his sweet corn like a big boy!
