We may be the only ones that get a kick out of Owens laughing episodes. But we just had to share this. Owen thinks Brycen is hillarious and really all Brycen has to do is look at him and he will laugh. This all started when we were downstairs playing baseball and Brycen accidently hit Owen's walker with the bat (which is made of foam by the way). Owen laughed like this for about 5 minutes. It was a good time. Sorry it's hard to see the lighting was really bad.

Celebrating a little early . . .

So we celebrated Brycens 7th birthday a little early. Poor guy, we'll probably never celebrate his birthday on the 22nd with it being so close to Christmas and all. He still made out like a bandit with two new Lego Star Wars ship, nerf guns and some candy. He had a blast cruising around the go-cart track with his buddy Jake and jumping around on the inflatable jungle gyms with Jeffrey. He got to decorate his very own cake and wanted to hang his own streamers. And to top it off, he talked Mom into making his "favorite" meal . . . clam chowder, mashed potatoes with gravy and a healthy "veggie tray." He's one lucky kid . . . and we're two lucky parents.

The boys had a great time playing with their cousins during the Thanksgiving holiday. They were pretty bummed out when we had to head out Sunday morning. The boys also enjoyed helping me feed one of the neighbors pets. They had rabbits, birds, fish and a cat. I was pretty nervous that I was going to get pushed to buy a pet for our home after their experience. Fortunately that hasn't come to pass yet. We all ate well, had shelter over our head, warm beds to sleep in, good health and family to hang out with . . . we're truly a blessed family!
