Just a fun collage

Owen was very content to sleep away
his afternoon, so I took advantage of it
with some photo opportunities.

Just more pictures

She loves him so much, she spends hours holding him every day. He loves her just as much, he calms by the sound of her voice.

I love this picture because Luke could never stick his tongue out like this, so I revel watching Owen stick his out.

Love those tootsies.

Sisterly Love

Anna will spend more of her day holding her baby brother than doing about anything else. She loves her brother and it is obvious her baby brother loves her.

A Proud Big Brother

Slightly Different Topic

Ben was finally able to put the swing set back together after a wind storm knocked it out of commission a few months ago. The kids were helpful and enjoyed being able to play in it again. It is concreted into the ground so that it won't fall again. There was also a birds nest from a Western Meadowlark right near the swingset that the kids loved to watch. We would all be silent when the momma bird came around and we got to watch the baby birds be fed several times.
Anna's picture is to highlight her tooth that fell out a few weeks ago, she is now missing one of her top teeth and close to losing the second one, I am hoping it falls out soon because it looks quite crooked and crazy in her mouth right now. She finds it all very funny. The tooth fairy forgot to come the first night so she just figured lots of kids had lost their teeth that day and patiently waited for the next night. When the tooth fairy came there was a note thanking the tooth fairy for coming and for leaving money, there was also a P.S. obviously added later that said "please come tonight", the tooth fairy only felt some slight guilt after reading that.
The kids also insisted on a birthday cake for daddy's birthday.

Just some fun ones

I was just playing around with some on-line editing program with these pictures. They are some I took last night when he was wide awake, unfortunately he has days and nights a little confused, but thankfully today he likes to eat a lot so he is waking up more. Anna is enjoying every minute with him and doesn't mind just spending her whole day holding him.

Luke and Owen

Last night Luke thought Owen should sleep in his bed. So I let Owen lay with him for a few minutes, Luke read to him, and then cuddled with him and didn't like that I was taking pictures with the flash and disturbing Owen. So he shielded his eyes. It was very cute, the only jealousy Luke has shown is when I am holding Owen and he wants to hold Owen, he is happy to share me with Owen, but he doesn't want to share Owen with anybody.
