April 2016 – And Now We Are Five

Owen Turns 12!

Incredibly enough my children keep getting older, and this guy is no exception. I can’t believe my baby dumpling is 12.

Owen is the most caring, supportive kid I know. He doesn’t hesitate to help someone if someone needs help. He is a great friend to all kinds of people, and although he doesn’t have a ton of friends, he has a few really close ones. He loves to tell jokes, read, pester his sister and be really active.

In addition to the “classic” gifts: clothes, books, a few toys, we got him a big present: a drum set.

What a kid.

Las Vegas, Baby

There was a flurry of travel in May when I started my new job. One of those trips was to the Marketo conference in Vegas, and as Eddy and I had never been, we decided to make a weekend out of it. It was…fun…although that was mostly because we left the kids with Grandma and got to spend some quality time together. I don’t think that either of us particularly liked Vegas, although we are happy to have had the opportunity to see it.
