High- Toss up between skiing on Mendenhall lake with brother, cousin and Kristen AND Saturday night's date night- babysitter and everything!
Low- Work last week- goof-up after drama after stressful emergency after bad decision after goof-up... plus I was feeling sort of sick.
Luke Update: This morning as we were driving to church, Luke told me that he had spring fever in a real bad way. He said he was going to dig out the boat (which is trapped behind several feet of ice and snow) and we were going cabin camping next weekend. On our way home from church, he was talking about trolling for kings in the evening after work... This afternoon during Owen's nap, Luke made a respectable dent in the mound of snow standing between our Durango and carefree outings on the water. Because we had such a cold and rainy summer last year, I think we are all ready for warm and dry days. Dig, baby, dig! This week, Luke booked a few more trips for this summer, renewed his CPR, First Aide certifications for the next 2 years and finished his accounting for last fishing season. Next stop: accountant's office. Yee-haw!
Owen Update: Apparently, if you're 20 months old, the thing to do is pull the cushions off of the couch. Then you can climb on it and play, read stories, or just throw things- basically the same things you might do on a couch that has cushions- only better. I've been noticing several new words lately. We saw our neighbor, Bob at Safeway and Owen said his name. He hasn't said "Daddy" (he calls Luke "Mama") but he says "Bob". I've also recently heard him say "poop", "blue", and "ditch". On Saturday, while Luke was getting re-certified, Owen had his first experience sitting on the porcelain throne. He didn't leave any deposits, but he proudly sat there reading his book and only almost fell in once.
The other day, Luke realized
we hadn't taken Owen sledding yet.
We unburied Luke's old Red Flyer
and took off around the neighborhood.
Luke pulled the sled at a rather quick pace,
Owen glided along with an enormous smile
and mama, nervously ran parallel to the sled,
ready to catch a jilted boy at any moment.
Keep your eyes on your driving,
keep your hands on the wheels.
Serious driver.

Uncle Christian, and Uncle Jason.
When in doubt, read the manual

Sounds like the Woodruff family had a busy week. and I am so amazed that you can get Owen to sit on the potty. Matthias just starts freeking out when I even atempt to put him on the toilet. Our Boys arn't so little anymore. Have a great week. Lela
Wow, sounds like you were busy indeed. Your skiing trip sounds fun and by the looks of it, Christian carried Owen in the ergo leaving your back free. YEAH! And I can totally see myself running alongside the sled as well. Sounds like a classic moment of a daddy wanting to share an experience and a mommy worried about safety precautions. Isn't that usually how the parental roles break down anyway?
