Owen visits AQUENT

Owen and I stopped by my office today. We had fun visiting with everyone and we're looking forward to our company holiday party at my boss Pauline's house this weekend.

Here are some pics from today's visit:

This morning we had a few errands to run, so I dressed Owen accordingly.

Thanks ladies for outfitting Owen today! :)

Morning time ~ me and my Jellycat

This is one of Owen's favorite toys these days ~

Welcome Olivia Marie Hertel!!!

This morning while we got ready to take Owen to meet Santa, Andrea was busy delivering baby girl Olivia Marie. Proud Papa Tim called to give us the good news. Mommy and baby are doing well. Here's a picture of Owen's beautiful future wife:

Our morning with Santa

This morning we got up earlier than usual for a Saturday in order to stand in line for 2 hours just to get these snapshots of Owen and Santa. :)




Totally worth it, in my opinion.

Then, to top it off, when we were leaving Ben checked his cell phone to find he had a message from Tim that Olivia Marie was born this morning!!! We're so happy for them and can't wait for Owen to meet his future wife! :)

First road trip - to visit GiGi!!!

Owen took his very first long road trip this past weekend. We went to visit my Grandma, Owen's GreatGrandma (GiGi) in Hershey. We had so much fun! Grandma helped me bathe Owen in the sink two nights in a row. The second night I accidentally put in too much baby wash and created an overflow of bubbles ~ that was entertaining! We also attended, with Cindy, GiGi's Christmas chorus concert. It got us in the Christmas spirit! Here are the pics:

Video clip for the Grandparents...

I thought the grandparents would get a kick out of this video clip I took:

Owen meets his friend Wyatt

Our good friends Troy and Andrea had their baby, William Wyatt, 10 days after we had Owen. Thanksgiving in FL was the first chance we had to get the babies together. Here are my favorite pics and a funny video clip of trying to get the last picture:
