Goodbye...

Living Room after Christmas 2006

All empty...December 2007


Just a small post to say...

Goodbye to 428 South Meadow Street
Never again will we meet.
Your tiny bedrooms and one bathroom,
we never thought it would end so soon.
Parents and children alike tortured you
still you survived and came bravely through.

The fond memories of days past:
Mom and Dad heading out west
Sara leaving you for her man
Megan for another land
Damian breaking a window somehow
Emma all grown up now
Nels..not quiet at all, as you well knew
Grady still the baby, we'll all remember you.

Happy 2008!

Well, it has been quite a while since an update so I'll try to recap the last months for you. Chris is still loving his job and doing well, as is Sara. Owen has been growing and changing right before our eyes!! He loves to run, climb, takes baths, and play in general. He does not like being separated from his parents very much at all. He is still talking up a storm and more frequently when we say a word to him he will give a try and repeat it back to us.
We had a great vacation in November when we traveled to NC and stayed for a week oceanfront for some much needed R & R. Aunt Megan visited us in December and we tried to entertain her as best we could. In fact, we're now babysitting her kitty, Sadie, for her while she gets her sea legs. Our holidays were good if uneventful. Owen loved opening presents and loved playing with them even more.
As I am writing this I am recovering from my latest workout at the YMCA (we treated ourselves to a membership recently) and we're having quiet night at home while Owen sleeps. School starts again for me next week so the updates may continue to be few and far between, but keep checking!!!
