Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!  We had a pretty good time here celebrating with good food, nice weather, and presents.  I don't think Owen really grasped the whole "it's Daddy's day" concept, but he enjoyed helping John open presents, especially the remote-controlled helicopter, and was pretty well-behaved all day.

It just cracks us up when he does this.  He's reading the comics from the Sunday paper at the table after breakfast - totally unprovoked and with a very serious look on his face!  He is, after all, closer now to being 3 than to being 2!

I didn't really get a posed father-son picture for the occasion, but I like this one from a few days ago after playing in the sprinkler.  Owen's holding on tight to his horsey for a ride back to the house.  He loves his Daddy!!!

And, lastly, a belly update on the missing piece of our little family.  I'm nearly 36 weeks along, which is when Owen decided to join us, so it could be any day now!  Let's hope it's right between 37-38 weeks, since I feel stretched like a balloon these days, and sleep is hard to come by already.  One of Owen's little playmates actually asked me if I had a ball in my shirt!  Ha ha - I love it.  :)
