Catching Up

I am majorly behind on the blog, so here is an update with a bunch of pictures over the past month. Here is Adler in the crawl position.....she's not crawling yet but she is officially getting around. She scoots all over the house on her butt and will likely master the crawling any day now. Watch out big brother....

Playing at the playground

One of Owen's recent drawings....the blue drawing is a portrait of Daddy. He has very long arms.

Owen has a magazine subscription to Click (a super cute mag for kids). This is what he was doing right after it came in the mail. This issue was all about dinosaurs and Owen loved all the stories.

Look into my eyes.....

Adler's first wagon ride.....being entertained by her brother.

Owen teaching bad habits.

Why isn't this cute on adults??

This is how Micah keeps Adler entertained when he's working in the garage.

Owen's new favorite place to sleep.

Our new canoe!

Owen's Big Adventure

Micah and Owen took a quick trip to Texas last week. Micah went to celebrate his brother Mark's upcoming wedding, and to watch his brother Matt compete in a track meet. Owen was SO excited to get on an airplane (even very early in the morning) and fly all the way to TEXAS!!!!

First stop.....Austin.....for the 2010 Track & Field Championships. Matt competed in the discus and hammer throws.

This was Matt's final track meet in college, as he is graduating from SFA in August!

The Langdons

I love this picture of Owen because you can see the Texas State Capital in the background (not to mention my adorable son).

Once the track meet was over, Matt and Micah headed to South Texas to join Mark for a guys weekend, and Owen headed to College Station with his Mimi and Olfa for some grandparent time.

There's not many pictures from the guys weekend together......better to not have any proof, I guess. There was plenty of beer drinking though!

On their drive back to College Station, they made 2 stops to see their grandparents. Micah's Pop was in the hospital at the time. He's better now and back at home.

Owen's trip to the grandparent's house was significant because this was the first time that Owen has spent the night away from both Micah and me (with the exception of the night Adler was born). He was very excited to go for a visit all by himself.....such a big boy! I think it was harder for me than it was for him. Check out all the cool things he got to do while he was there.

Back to the airport

And this is what Owen looked like at the Reno airport waiting for luggage to arrive.....Texas tired this little boy out!

He had a blast and didn't miss me at all. He's already talking about our next trip to Texas and our cruise, which is coming up very quickly. We can hardly wait!

The First Lady

I attended a Women's Summit in Reno earlier this week and First Lady Michelle Obama was the keynote speaker. What a wonderful opportunity to hear her speak in person. She was just as articulate and dynamic as she is on TV. And no matter what your political beliefs are, there is no denying that she is one amazing woman.

Besides hearing the First Lady speak, there were other topics discussed during this 4 hour Women's Summit including: financial stability, consuming locally grown food, supporting farmers markets, adopting green habits, and even breastfeeding and family friendly policies in the workplace were mentioned (as you can imagine, I was thrilled)!!

I attended with some friends, Michelle and Brenda, along with 1,600 other women in Northern Nevada.
