Owen loves it at Grammy's

Lazy Sunday

Owen REALLY wants to stand up!

Just Because

Who needs toys...

...when you can play with your feet?

Bucks Lake Cabin Trip

Owen had his first family vacation! He loved the tall trees, the cabin, and being around Oisin and Jakodi. The beach and the great outdoors? Not so much.

As Seamas put it: "Owen's first trip to the beach: BORRRING!"

10. A clean diaper!

Owen's First Cookout

We decided not to go on the big family camping trip to Trinity Lake this year, figuring that a 2 month old baby and a disobedient dog would be too much trouble.  Instead, we made a cameo at a camping trip much closer to home, at Lake Chabot, so close to home that you could still hear the BART trains :)

After our cookout at the campsite, it's safe to say that we're glad we skipped Trinity.  It was fun, but Owen was cold, Sydney stole bones, etc.  I think it will be better next year when Owen is a little older.  But the pictures paint a pretty picture of Owen's first cookout.

All riight, all riight, all riiight...

My son has begun paying tribute to the finest actor of our time-- Matthew McConaughey-- by pulling up his shirt at any and every opportunity.
