spring time

i think you are supposed to like spring because of the warm weather and all the new baby animals. i really don't like to be hot and i like being dirty even less so i think this may be a challenging summer for me. next time i will take a picture of pierce when he does it but you would not believe how much he loves to be outside. he will lean against the door and make a noise like a caged animal until i open the door. and when you open the door, you must be prepared to take off after the little boy (who was born slowly-34 hours of really yucky labor) and that's the last thing he did slowly!

last monday we went to a place called the heartland cafe in chicago to hear some live music. we had the best time together. it reminded me how much i love love love live music. musicians are amazing to me. probably because i can barely understand how they do what they do. great food and Fred sounded better than ever!





we had a play date at our house last thursday and 20 minutes into the "fun" we hear my friend jen's 5 year old, Ella, yell "mom, come see what Owen did!" i was a mess from the second i saw him. he managed to get into the kids play kitchen and stick his head up through the hole where the bowl for the fake sink fits. his head was then stuck. i immediately said i would call 911, to which i was told that was not necessary. and twenty minutes of stomach wrenching, anxiety producing, innocent bi-standing later i did call 911. then as three firemen and a police officer stood on my porch and stared at owen, i finally had to ask where all the good ideas were!


so we lost a kitchen but thankfully not a friend. Jen and Dan thought the whole experience was very "owen" and had a good laugh! i still cringe seeing the empty space on the porch.

anyway, p and mira are getting along very well right now for some reason. they seem to be at ages that they like each other. they love to lay on the couch together, usually on top of each other.

i'd say, for the most part, these are the good times:)
