Swinging
There is a nice park here in Antwerp, and Owen loves swinging on the swings that they have. The last time we were there, though, we could only stay about 5 minutes, because the mosquitos were so bad!

vacation
The first week of September, Paul, Owen, and I, along with my parents, took a trip to Central Illinois. We stayed at a resort along the Fox River. We golfed, hiked, played tennis, visited my Grandpa and Grandma, and generally "hung out." : ) Owen went home with my mom and dad halfway through the week and Paul and I enjoyed the rest of the week to ourselves.
who said you had to spend a lot of money?
So here is Owen's latest toy - an empty diaper box and a belt. We spent 15 minutes last night "riding" around the house. Maybe if I put a rag under the box, we could polish the dining room floor....
family
Owen has had a chance to play with a few family members in the past few weeks. A week ago, Uncle Curt, Aunt Kathy, and Caleb came out to visit. Owen got a kick out of playing with Caleb. By the way, Caleb does a great job serving ice cream - so if you are looking for a willing worker... This past weekend, Paul's family was here and Owen got a chance to bond with his Aunt Kat (another friend to play blocks with!)
Not good at this
So here is my first posting. I'm not a scholar when it comes to bright and witty things to say, that's more Paul's thing. So I may just mostly stick to updating on Owen, and what's new in our lives. It's also awkward for me to talk about myself, so we'll see how all this goes. Anyways, Owen is currently 10 months and 1 week - he's crawling all over the house, climbing stairs, babbling about all sorts of things, will eat anything you place in front of him (excpet green beans!), and is starting to walk along furniture and walls. The best word to describe him is "curious." Everything needs to be investigated, which I can completely understand - everything he is seeing for the first time. We'll end with that at the moment. See, I told you I'm not good at this...
