Eli's 2nd Birthday PARTY!!

The GRAND finale of Eli's BDay was a party for him and all his buddies at The Little Gym in Knoxville. Eli had an awesome time and was so excited to see all his favorite people in one place! The kids played with balls and bubbles, jumped on the giant air mat, sang "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" under the parachute, and explored all the equipment around the gym. It was "organized chaos" for an hour, then cupcake and present time! What a wonderful ending to a great 2nd Birthday!!!

Breakfast Dounut!

Happy Birthday ELI!!! Eli turned 2 on April 2nd and we started the celebration with a breakfast trip to Duncan Dounuts (yes... we stole this idea! Thanks Amy!). Eli LOVES dounuts and what a way to start the day with lots of sugar!

Reese at 2 Weeks!

WOW! 2 kids! WOW! Today we got both kids and ourselves ready for church and were just marginally late (we've been later). I count that as a huge success! Leaving the house has been my biggest challenge thus far, but we're getting there. You quickly forget all the "must haves" that come with a newborn. :) Reese is doing great and even gained a whole pound last week. Here are some updated pics of our little Reesie Mac!

It's Starting to Look Like a House!

Just wanted to update everyone on the progress of the Owings home! We have walls, a roof, and they have started laying the shingles! YEA! It is so exciting to watch the house take shape, even though I know that the progress is going to soon come to a grinding halt! :) But in the meantime we're just going to enjoy the excitement.

Hello Reese... I'm Eli!

Enjoy this video of Eli when he came to visit us at the hospital. This is the first time he met his new baby sister, Reesie! Aren't my babies precious!!!

Reese is here!!
