Well, after 4 months of waiting, we finally found out we are the new owners of this little cottage. We put our initial offer in mid-July and closed on Friday. It was a long, drawn out process but we are so excited about the new pad. It looks small from the outside but we have 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a basement. The most exciting thing about the place, other than being across the street from a great little park, is that we have closet space!!!!

Oh yeah. I think I'm getting the hang of it!

Dear Owen,
You are 1! It's so hard to believe this year has come and gone. You have kept us busy and on our toes. We loved every minute of it.
You have come a long way in this past year. You are now doing what I like to call the Frankenstein shuffle. You're walking skills are well on the way. You look a little like Frankenstein but that's okay. I'm sure you will be running before long.
You have 7 teeth- 4 up top and 3 below. You are trying more foods but still like your old standby- anything with cheese.
You have a developing vocabulary. You have "dog" down pat. When you hear a dog barking or when Carter comes into the room, you say, "Dawwwgg". You can also say hi, dada, tree, and occasionally you say momma. You make the same sound when you point to things, so we are sure that means something to you. Once you can translate that into standard English, we'll get it too.
You are very curious, too. You point to things and say, "day?" looking for a name for the object. Actually, we aren't sure what you say when you point but you have the intonation of a question.
Here are some more highlights:
- You like to put things in boxes and take them out.
- You like to bang on things.
- You are a crazy clapper. When music comes on, you start clapping or swaying. We aren't sure where this comes from- neither mommy or daddy has any rhythm.
- You like to play ball, whatever kind it is. You can throw the ball, roll the ball, and chase the ball. The football throws you off because of its shape- you're not so good at anticipating its next move.
There is so much going on with you! You're learning and growing so much right now. You seem to come up with a new trick each day. We can't wait to see where the next year takes us!
Love,
Mom and Dad
Owen had his baptism this weekend. It was a special day surrounded by our family- Nanny, Baba, Grammy, Aunt Darcy and Uncle Jeremy, and his beautiful cousins Claire and Emma. Owen behaved great. Pastor Jim tried to get the hair to lay down with the water, but popped back up once it dried.

Party at my crib!
The cousins came for a visit this past weekend. We haven't really had the kids together in a while so it was big fun! We scooped out pumpkins, did science experiments, partied in the crib, pushed shopping carts around, and had an all around good time. Owen loves Claire and Emma to pieces and I'm sure they feel the same way!
Our Spikey-headed friend was getting a little out of control so we brought him in for his first haircut. He took it like a champ. I am pretty sure that I could have done just as good of a job as Owen's "stylist." After all, the whole point of paying for a cut was so it didn't look like I did it.
