Rock Climbing

We took Owen & Eden rock climbing for the first time yesterday. It was awesome! Owen took to climbing like a duck to water. We are SO proud of him!
He couldn't wait to get his ropes tied on & get to climbing. A couple times he was a little scared, but quickly overcame his fears. Each time Matt or I climbed Owen cheered us on hollering "Bye-bye Daddy/Mommy" or "Cool" or "Yeah," and clapped for us as we came down. Eden hung out & watched the whole ordeal in her carseat.
Needless to say, we entertained the entire gym.

Welcome Emerson!

Billie gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Saturday, February 16th.

They named him Emerson William Cramer, and he was 8lbs 8oz and 19 1/4" long. He's gorgeous! Congratulations Billie & Forrest, we love you!!!

Only about 12 hours old!

Meeting Aunt Tamara for the first time.

The proud Papa & son.

Owen skates

Owen put on his rollerblades the other day, and zoomed around the house. Check it out!

Wow! It's been over a month since I last blogged. Eden is growing so fast, and Owen is full of energey--it's hard to keep up.

Eden just turned 12 weeks. She's amazing at holding her head up & has a smile that completely fills your heart with joy. Those baby blues are still blue!! Hooray!! She's our social bug, and loves to be where the action is--which is usually anywhere Owen happens to be playing!

Owen is READY for summer--or, is it that I'm ready to send him outside for playtime? Not sure. Either way, he's climbing the walls--literally. So, we're taking him rock climbing. I can't wait!! I haven't been climbing since he was 3 weeks old, and I'm definitely suffering from withdrawal. I can't wait to see how he takes to it.

As promised--below are photos from Eden's dedication at church.
