Today was stake conference and we got home from church at noon instead of 4:00pm, our usual time. We were all so tired from getting to bed late last night so we took a Sunday nap and when I woke up I wanted to go for a walk, but this is what everyone was doing:
Owen still hadn't woken up. He was super tired but I finally went in to wake him up. You can see what a kind boy he is, giving up most the room on his bed, and his blankets, to his dogs.
I was slaving away in the kitchen making an apple crisp for a friend who just had her first baby on Monday and then moved from Philly back to Hershey on Friday. I should have made her a miracle pill to take away all her troubles, but I still haven't perfected the recipe.
Jeff was sitting at the computer doing who knows what. Probably stressing about his Step 2 test on Tuesday.
Well I finally convinced everyone to go for a walk. First Owen had to go potty which takes awhile. Hope no one is offended by this shot.
Here we are having made it outside!!! It was a nice day, the first one in a long time.
Everytime we go on a walk Owen has to bring this, his bike, or this green doll stroller I picked up at a garage sale. Of course he calls the stroller his lawn mower and makes a lawn mower noise the whole walk. Kids are pretty cool when it comes to imagination!
We just took a bunch of fun family shots.
I told Jeff I wanted a natural picture.
This is what Owen does when I ask him to make a face.
Cool 2 year old tricks!
The "leg" hug.
Owen requested this picture. Everytime the gesse flew over us he insisted we take a picture. This one turned out the best.
Owen has really big feet!
My "natural" picture, which didn't turn out too natural.
Now for some oldies: I've wanted a water table for Owen SO BAD because most of you know how much he loves the water. I finally found this at a garage sale and here he is playing with it with his friends, Laura and Steven.
Here are a few projects I've finished this past week. I started this quilt over a year ago but didn't worry about finishing it too fast because I wasn't sure if I was even going to have a girl. I really like the colors and am making some crib bedding to match. The burp cloths are fun to do at work because they are so quick and easy.
Owen breakdanced the whole time! It was awesome.
Here they're looking at the rainbow the fountain makes. 
Smelling the roses! 
Zanna and Owen coloring pumpkins. Owen insisted on coloring with yellow for the first few minutes until I convinced him you really could not see it. 
Owen's not quite a butterfly yet.
Here is Owen eating his apple. They had the best apples ever! There is nothing like eating a fresh, crisp, right off the tree apple on a crisp fall day!
A nice family shot...the boys look so cute! I can't figure out why I look so weird in this picture, but with three weeks to go I am sure looking weird is normal. I did get a hair cut today which made me at least feel better! It will be so fun when our family picture has 4 instead of 3!!!
All of our friends left but we decided to stay a little longer. We were just enjoying sitting by the fire when Owen decided it was time to go so he just hopped in the car and put his seat belt on. Then Jeff and I heard a rustling in the trees behind us. Jeff shined his flashlight and discovered a friendly skunk. We decided it was time to go. We had a hard time getting our chairs and putting out the fire because the skunk was not shy and we didn't want to scare it for fear of being sprayed. We were finally ready to go but it was hanging out right by Jeff's car door. He finally just climbed through the other door, over the seat, and we made it out of there without being sprayed! 
Here we are having made it outside!!! It was a nice day, the first one in a long time. 
We just took a bunch of fun family shots.
