Owen's Birthday Part 1

We had a good Labor Day. Natalie and Owen's weekend started on Thursday, since school was closed Thursday and Friday for teacher in-service days. They were really good while Mom worked on Thursday - they played with just about every toy in the game room, and Dad took off Friday to ease Mom's load since she still had to work. Mom took Owen for a haircut on Thursday - we got rid of some of the pink hair, and Natalie got a trim while we were there. Part 1 of Owen's birthday celebration started on the weekend. We can't believe he is two years old already! Grandpa Roger and Aunt Karen came on Saturday afternoon. We had a party for Owen on Sunday, and he was very excited about all the new stuff and having cupcakes and singing. Natalie was also very excited about his birthday, since she got quite a few presents as well. We were pretty low key since the rain has come back - it rains almost every day again these days. We did make it to the playground on Monday morning. Natalie saw one of her friends there and had a great time playing with him. Dad commented that three and a half years old is too young to be chasing boys around. Grandpa (or Pe-Pa as Owen calls him) and Karen left Tuesday, and now we are getting ready for birthday celebration number 2 this weekend.
