Halloween Flashback Pic 1

Before we post tonight's Halloween pics, we thought we'd share what Owen looked like last Halloween. He's quite the sweet pea, isn't he?

Halloween Flashback Pic 2

And here's another view. We had titled this picture "don't forget to eat your peas".

What's Black and White and Red All Over?

Okay - it's a stupid joke, I know - but the title of this post alludes to one word: Sox. I'm referring to the White Sox, who won the World Series Wednesday night (and were tainted by the 1919 "Black Sox" scandal), and the Red Sox, who won it all last year. Although my Mariners have seen a winning famine over the last couple of years, the teams that I wanted to win the World Series last year and this year did just that.

As thrilled as I was that the White Sox won it all this year (yay for Freddie Garcia and Joey Cora in particular), I was super-thrilled when the Red Sox won it last year. Apparently so thrilled (or nerdy, your choice), that I had Jenna take a picture of Owen and I at the exact moment the Red Sox won it all.

Sad, I know. In fact, feel free to leave Jenna words of consolation and comfort as she continues to deal with the fact that her hubby is a big ol' nerd on the inside (and far from ashamed). But, I must add, check out Owen's wide, wide smile - he's loving it!!

Hope you all have a great weekend! (We're headed to Seattle for Amelia's shower, so you won't hear from us for a few days).

Can You Hear Me Now?

Here is pic #3 of 3 of our weekend photo shoot. This picture actually came about because in the middle of shooting, Owen decided to rest his head on Jenna's belly. It made for a cute series of photos.

Reach for the Sky

Owen had no problem grabbing bubbles as they cascaded to the floor.

Figuring out why they disappeared in his hands was an entirely different issue.

Special Delivery, Part 2

First, the carseat... then, when we opened the box for the new crib, look what we found inside! Styrofoam, beware!

Just Us

A couple of our good friends (thanks Melinie and Angela!) offered to take pictures of Jenna and the family this weekend. This is one of Jenna's favorites. There are two others she doesn't mind posting, but we'll save those for another day...

Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay...

Here's Micah-Moo at Owen's current age. He was relaxing on the O.S.S. Stillwater (another name for Grandpa and Grandma Shegrud's house).

Special Delivery

We were definitely expecting the carseat, but we got a little more than that. Definitely a keeper, though!

The First Post

Here it is - our first post. I suppose we have now officially entered the "blogging" world. I figured it would be most appropriate to showcase our first two children - Micah and Owen.

By the way - a small disclaimer: our posts should get better from here. Or so I hope. =)
