Snow Fun in NC

It's not everyday it snows in NC so when the weather calls for more than a few inches it's a big deal! This time we went down the checklist for snow fun! We needed a sled, snow pants, hats, gloves, and boots!!!! It was like looking for a needle in a haystack!!! Everywhere I went they were sold out!!! But I was unwavering in my search!! I called ACE Hardware to see if they were getting anymore sleds in and the nice lady said they were going to get another shipment in about an hour. HOWEVER.....there were already 10 people in line. WHAT!?! Good Grief I have never heard of such a thing. So while Owen was napping James went by there and came home with a sled!!! SUCCESS! I managed to find some snow pants at REI that were 3 sizes too big. But at least he will have room to grow and he doesn't seem to mind. There were no snow boots to be found but I did find some really cute wellies for him!!! So now he can stomp in mud puddles after it rains. So now we are perfectly winterized for all the snow we get in NC!!!

2009 in pictures

"Everyone that sees you

Always wants to know you

And everyone that knows you Always has a smile "

How did 2009 go by so fast? It seems like just yesterday Owen was one, going to his first day of Parents Morning Out, experiencing his first snow and learning to talk. Now he's a big chatty 2 year old with a lot to say! While putting these pictures together it amazed me to see how much and how quickly he changed from a baby to a little boy. Snif Snif!!! Although I miss my baby I sure do love the big boy he has become!!

Since being pregnant a lot of things make me cry! The good kind of cry that is. A song on the radio or a TV show about little boys makes me sob! In particular the song "I just call you mine" by Martina McBride. Whenever I hear it I get all teary eyed thinking about Owen!! Especially the part of the song that says "I close my eyes and breathe in the sweetest moments I've ever known It feels like home ". Moments with Owen are truly the sweetest moments I have ever known! I wish the years would slow down but knowing I will have many more moments with him somehow makes it ok. Everyone calls him amazing...I just call him mine!
