My Valentine

Well, as if our house isn't constantly exploding with love already, we "upped the ante" again for Valentine's Day. What a fun day, to add a little more love and squeeze in a few more hugs!

It's hard to believe that this was our sweet valentine just one year ago:

He is changing and growing before my eyes!

Daddy was actually off from school today so we had a wonderful lunch date at Mommy's favorite: Chick-fli-A! :) And Owen made a special trip to Target to purchase a new Elmo movie with his valentine money from his Nona. :)

The kid is obsessed with anything Elmo related. Movies, books, stuffed animals, figures. If that furry monster's face is on it...Owen loves it!

One thing Owen is NOT a fan of.....Sponge Bob! Owen had his first real experience of fear this weekend when he accidentally saw the beginning of a Sponge Bob episode. (We actually do not like the show and do not plan on allowing our children to watch it, it just taped after the end of a Fresh Beat Band episode!) However, I don't think it will be a problem. :) Owen very rarely cries. I mean, really cries...tears and all. Upon seeing the 20 seconds of Sponge Bob, the poor boy was so upset he was crying hysterically, and even shaking! It's actually happened twice (Mom of the year, I know) and he's had the same reaction both times. Needless to say, the episode has been deleted and I have no worries of hearing that annoying sponge invade my house...ever! :)

Owen had a great Valentine's Day and LOVED his gift. We have a sweet video of his giggles I'll share later!

Owen will be having surgery next week. Our doctors have decided to do the g tube surgery. Partially, because he needs one and partially to have a "run through" of our new anesthesia plan for transplant. His surgery is Tuesday morning at 7:30am (Cincy time). We covet your prayers and are so thankful in advance for our faithful friends and family who continue to "storm the gates of Heaven" in Owen's name!
