Houston Adventure

This past weekend we packed up & headed to Houston. Friday night, we did nothing because 5 minutes after we got into my parents house Drew got sick! I was so bummed, but he did fine the next day, which was full of seeing friends. First we headed to Town & Country and did a little shopping, playing at Barnes & Noble and then had a fun lunch with Meagan. We then headed home so Drew could nap. When he woke up, we did a little more shopping at Highland Village & then got to visit Nat & Scott and their sweet baby boy, Oliver (seriously maybe the best baby EVER). From there we headed to the wedding reception at the Heights Firehouse. Josh's cousin Liana got married in Argentina the beginning of January. We had never met the groom and we soon found out that I went to high school with him!!! I couldn't believe... it really is a small world!

Today we were talking about Aunt Nicole having a baby in her tummy, and it is a little girl. I asked him what the baby's name should be, and he told me "the other Drew". All babies are Drew to him - it is really cute! He also said, "I want a baby in my tummy." I told him, only grown-up girls have babies in their tummies - and that he would be a daddy one day. He said, "oh great, I'll be a daddy on the roof". He was so thrilled that he will eventually be allowed on the roof!

Owen Spiderman

We have been trying to teach Owen is full name, Owen Caleb Norrell.... He, of course, knows that his first name is Owen and when you ask him, "what is your name?" he responds, "Owen". We kept telling him that his last name is Norrell, and he would repeat it... "No - well". It was really cute. A little while later, we asked him again, "What is your full name?" he said, "Owen" and we asked, "what about your last name?" he out of nowhere, responded, "Spiderman". Josh and I just cracked up. I am not sure how he even knows about Spiderman. We have never watched a Spiderman cartoon, we have one ball that has Spiderman on it, but nothing else! He continues, a week since the initial name change, to call himself Spiderman.

We were at the Gap trying to get him some new blue jeans (he is still growing like a weed - and has grown out of his 3T jeans - which i cannot believe!) and saw this Spiderman t-shirt... we couldn't resist!

The start to 2009 has been a crazy one!

Some of you know that poor lil Drew has had a real tough time battling ear infections over the last few months.... Last week we had tubes put in his ears & he seems to be doing so much better. He hadn't slept through the night in months, and the he has been sleeping so great since the procedure. I am so glad that we went ahead and did it. He doesn't like wearing the earplugs in the bath, but I would much rather deal with him fussing about the ear plugs than the countless ear infections we have been dealing with...

Owen started back to Mothers Day Out Tue & Thur - we love his school! He has learned so much & has made some great lil friends. We also attend a Bible Study on Wednesdays at Hyde Park Baptist Church, it has been great for the all of us.... We are settling back into our routine after a fun, and crazy holiday season.

Time to start our family blog....

I have watched countless friends start up blogs & decided that it was time to start one up myself. We have so many precious moments happening with the little guys, and this will be the perfect way to share the memories and preserve them so that we can enjoy them later!
