Fall is in the air.

Here are some more pics from our day of playing in the leaves. Owen likes to jump in the pile or have you sprinkle leaves on his head.

Giggle ear.

Yesterday, we played a lot in the front yard. Owen discovered Daddy's ear.

I'm a little cuckoo clock.

Here's a little song we like to sing with O once in a while. He digs it.

Mart cabin, Labor Day.

This Summer, we felt very fortunate to be invited up twice to the Mart cabin. Labor Day was an absolute blast! Owen was starting to walk a bit in his Frankenstein-kinda-way. And we shared a lot of laughs with K's uncle, cousins, brother, nephew, etc. etc. We ate too much and played a TON of yard games like beanbag toss. The perfect ending to a really fun Summer. Thanks Team Mart!

Clap your hands say yeah.

Here's some vid of Owen enthusiastically clapping away. He really gets after it on this one.

Owen walkabout.

A look back.

12 months.

Ever since Owen was 1 month young, every month we've been putting him in this rocking chair and snapping a photo alongside his little plush monster. It's been fun watching him grow taller and taller, getting more and more animated, his face changing into that of a little boy. While it's been fun doing this on a monthly basis, we always said we'd stop the chair photos once he turned 1 year old. Plus, the squirrelly little guy won't sit still for us anymore anyway. :)

Galaxy Drive-In.

Every day on our way to work we pass by Galaxy Drive-In (formerly Wagner's Drive-In). The old Wagner's was great, so we were excited to see just how new and improved this badboy is. If you're thinking of paying it a visit, see commentary below...

The new sign beckons the good ol' atomic age.
It's cheesy in all the right ways. Good. "Let's walk in..."

Food arrives and our order is mostly accurate.
Burgers are decent. Fries are not so good.
Bill arrives. Old Wagner's prices are gone.
"We paid that much for this?"

This was pretty cool. An old ice cream truck. Photo op, done.

Neverland Ranch called. They want their creepy kid statues back.
