Truth In Blogging

Carrie and I really enjoy using this blog to keep friends and family updated on our life down here in Arizona. As anyone who frequents the site can plainly see, our life has a lot to do with Owen. We generally make an effort to put a positive spin on what we have going on and we tend to use the best of the pictures we take.

One could make the argument that what we post isn't the entire picture of how things go down here. Anyone who has ever excluded some unpleasant parts of a tale in the name of a better story will be able to relate to what I'm talking about. With this in mind, Carrie suggested we drop in a glimpse of the other side of our experiences with Owen for levity.

So, for every one of these you see:


There's one of these you don't.


I'm washing dishes; he's biting my calf.


Owen running well within system parameters.


Owen going thermonuclear.



Understandably, we don't have nearly as many photos of him in his sub-pleasant moods. We do make a point, however, to keep enough around to be able to combat empty-nest syndrome.

It's easy to get caught up in the adorable photos we usually see posted. Here we got to see some of what happens off and on when "someone" feels the need to get his point across. Awww, it sure made me want to console him!!!

So... here's a big hug and kiss from Greatgrandma M!

Well, goodness. It's actually hard to imagine my adorable little grandson is not a perfect angel every minute of every day. That's certainly how I think of him! :0)

This is slightly more accurate, I suppose. There probably are a few times, once in a great while, when he has some small disagreement with what might be happening . . .

Love you guys!

I think temper tantrums when they get older are what give us the gray hairs!
