Family Time
We recently went for a walk/jog on the River Road. I think I take it for granted that we live near such a beautiful stretch of countryside. The walk was a great chance to get some fresh air and stretch our legs! The pictures from our outting were great!
Happy Owen!

Random Cuteness
We have been doing lots of photographing of our son! I wanted to share some of my favorites :)
Holding one of his cool teethers. He's trying so hard to get the right grip on things. Once he does...every single thing he touches will be in his mouth!!
In his cute cute jammies from Grandma PJ. He's has already outgrown (in length) his other sleepers! Stay tuned for pics of his green dinosaur ones...they're adorable!
Our little sleepyhead
Giving us his "Seriously?" Face
Holding his bottle...what a big boy!

The Perfect Weekend!
We had an amazing weekend!
Friday I enjoyed a blissful morning and afternoon with my son! I'm already hooked on Friday's off! That night the three of us went over to Uncle Bryan and Aunt Steff's for some much needed Linoski time. We played Wii and ordered pizza. We were out WAY past our bedtime but it was sooo much fun! Owen crashed on their loveseat while Jer battled a basketball game on their Wii. It was so refreshing and relaxing to be together! Aunt Steff took pictures of Owen. You can check them out here on her photography blog.
Saturday was another wonderful day! Steff invited me over to do some swimming and girl time lounging by the pool. I took Owen to my Mom's and Jer went over to help Uncle Jonnie and Aunt April do some remodeling in their kitchen. I came home from swimming burnt and exhausted from a wonderful day by the pool. After Jer was done helping with the kitchen, we all went and had dinner together. It was Owen's first time enjoying El Mezcal with us. As usual, we spent 20 minutes outside the restaurant talking before calling it a night! It was a fun way to cap off our day.
Sunday Jer and I enjoyed a fun morning at church, then headed home for some much anticipated time around the house! We had BLT's for lunch and accomplished a million little things that added up to a whole lotta feeling accomplished! I even snuck a LandShark into afternoon ;) I headed back to work on Monday refreshed and relaxed. God is good! Here's some snapshots from the day!

Our Amazing 3 Month Old
On Friday, June 26th, Owen officially turned 3 months old! It's unbelievable! Since his 2 month birthday Owen:
Is now outgrowing his size 2 diapers
Laughs out loud :)
Can hold his head up while laying down on his tummy
Can roll over from his tummy to his back
Can bring his hands together
Can grab at his toys
Bear weight on his legs
Wants to sit up so bad he throws his shoulders forward and grunts
Loves Mr. Moose who hangs from his carseat
Is growing in some very cute dark hair
Has made us aware that he HAS to be on the move at all times
and one of my personal favorites?? He is starting to look like me!

Roll on Over!
This Friday Owen rolled over for the first time. I was taking some 3 month snap shots of him. I put him on his tummy and he seemed to be having more fun than usual. Next thing I know he wiggled around and was on his back looking at me like...What just happened Mom?? He did it one more time before calling it quits! It was adorable and I was so excited that I missed getting a video of it. I did however get some pics of him on his belly...just before the big roll ;)

Father's Day
Jer is very unselfish when it comes to buying things for himself. He very rarely will tell you what he wants for a birthday or anniversary or anything else. He makes it hard to shop for him and hates spending money on himself. He told me for weeks that he didn't want anything for Father's Day. I told him at the very least to tell me what he wanted to do with the day. He said he would think about it and let me know! The day before he finally decided he just wanted to hang out at home and be lazy. And I decided that for once I would try to stick to his request. It is afterall a day dedicated to celebrating Dad and giving them everything they want! So as hard as it was...I didn't cave from my plan. No big gifts and no big plans. I opted instead to make him a batch of his favorite cupcakes and let him lead on the plans for the day.
Here's some pics of my hubby's first Father's Day. Jer's only request was to spend the day with me and Owen. Who can argue with that? Happy Father's Day Jer! We love you very much!
Also a Happy Father's Day to the Dad's and Grandpa's in our life that have been our strenght, support and biggest cheerleaders throughout life! We would not be the people we are today with you!

Days of Old
Oh the days of Old! Per a Christmas present from my parents, Jer and I were able to go and enjoy a night at Pere Marquette Lodge last weekend.
What a marvelous and relaxing night! We left early in the afternoon to enjoy some time at the lodge before heading off to Grafton for dinner. We lounged in the pool and then got ready for a relaxing dinner on the river. We decided to hit a winery and brewhaus newly opened in downtown Grafton. What a wonderful idea! They have free wine tastings...so we got to sample a new brand of wines we've never had before. Then we enjoyed a laid-back meal from their amazing deck. The deck is set up above the landscape a bit and overlooks the river. Luckily a breeze blew in sometime after we sat down and helped cool the stifling humidity. We watched the sunset and drank our way through 2 bottles of wine before calling it a night. It was an amazing chance to talk to Jer about things we didn't realize we'd not shared over the past few weeks, reminisce about our beautiful son and what the future will hold for us. It was an amazing time!
As a side note...if you haven't taken a night recently to go out and spend time with your spouse, DO IT NOW. Make your marriage important. With the recent news of Jon and Kate Gosselin's divorce (which makes me immensely sad), I feel it is more important than ever to respect the sanctity of marriage and take time to talk to your spouse. Love on them and remind each other why you got married in the first place. It's so so important!
