It's been a while....

We added a new addition.


and she is already 1!
Molly Jane was born June 24th 2010 in Silverdale . Her birth was so drastically different from her brothers. Where his was filled with anxiety hers was chill, calm and confident. I still ended up using pain medications but this time I didn't feel like a failure. I loved that I was pain free as I prepared to meet her, and after two pushes I did.

Recovery after 2 pushes is so much easier than after 2 hours of pushing.

just sayin'

Life with two is good, we are preparing to move to Bainbridge Island soon... we hope. Our house is sold and I don't want to jinx anything by posting a picture of the house we have made and offer on. We should close asap but I am superstitious tonight.



Owen is still into trucks although at 3 they shifted from garbage trucks to fire trucks.

He is reading and loves to read about knights, barbarians, and police. But above all he loves Batman, specifically his Batman tee shirt. He's been wearing it since March, and every day since June. Every. Single. Day.

What's new OWIE?

Yes my son refers to himself as OWIE . He's changing so quickly theses days, it's hard to keep up. HIs obsessions with forklifts and garbage trucks is still going strong and now he counts them , or their tires when we see them. Sometimes like the count from Sesame Street . "2 Garbage Trucks - ah ah ah ah !"

His other major obsession is music. It has Jason and I a little dumbfounded and trying to find ways to encourage it without pushing but provide what he needs to foster this love. Parenting is hard. He loves Youtube! We watch a lot of Miles Davis , John Coltrane and Singing in the Rain. He turns everything into an instrument, sippy cups become trumpets, forks guitars and today he used his crock as a violin. We'll see how this love grows- and if I can keep up until he is 3 or 4!

Oh how he's grown !
