Hi Friends!The end of Summer 2009 flew by...and here we are flying through October. Geesh. :) Sometimes blogging feels like homework so I (Elizabeth) avoid it as long as possible. The pictures are piling up so I figured it was time to get back at it...We had a very busy summer- lots of travel and a visit from Nana and Papa. You'll see pics below from our trip to CO- Jeremy hiked for a week with

Hi, friends!We've been busy, busy, busy trying to keep up with this little one......still no excuse for not blogging in 3 months! Oh well. :)Since our last post we: had a visit from Nana and Papa (Jeremy's parents in May), celebrated Audrey's second birthday, finished a semester of gymnastics, had a short visit from Grammy and Grandad (my parents), drove to Memphis for Hannah and Tank's wedding

How can we possibly bring you up to speed on the past 4 months?!I'm ashamed to admit this is a record for us- the longest we've gone without blogging about our sweet Audrey! Perhaps it's because she keeps us SO busy during the day that we can't bear the thought of having to do anything productive in the evenings??Anyway :), it's hard to know where to start... Since Christmas we've stayed busy

Happy New Year!2008 was such a wonderful year for us! Audrey grew and changed so much... Jeremy stayed busy with work and finished the year off working a successful shuttle flight... I kept busy at home with Audrey and doing part-time work for our church... And we are so thankful for another year of health and so many blessings.2009 has been awesome so far! Life looks pretty much the same for us

Figured I'd better squeeze this one in since it's almost 2009!November was a fun-filled month, starting with a trip home to TN for Audrey and I. My Uncle Fred and Aunt Karen were in town from CA and we couldn't pass up the opportunity to see them! I realized as I sat down to do this post that I don't have a single picture documenting that they were even there...oops.We LOVED being home and as

Is it really mid-November?! Where has 2008 gone?We were hoping that October would be a slower month than it's predecessor, but after Jeremy's triathlon, our garage sale, the NKOTB concert (you didn't mis-read that), airshow weekend, birthday parties, Halloween, and Jeremy working a gazillion hours preparing for STS-126, October was just as crazy. But no natural disasters, so no complaints!We

Get comfy... this is a long one. :)September started off with a detour to TN. Hurricane Gustav messed up our driving plans to Disney World, so we left a couple of days early and went to Chattanooga! It was a quick visit, but it's always so good to be home. Audrey LOVED playing with Aspen...and playing outside in the cool weather!Audrey teaching Owen how to throw a perfect spiral...On the 3rd

Hi Friends!We've had a really busy summer! We've been to Dallas to see the Whites, Nana and Papa came for a long visit, and Jeremy has spent more time in Florida than Texas!Next week our entire family heads to Disney World (yes, we were just there in May- so what?!)- so stay tuned for fun pics from that trip! :) Oh, and guess who'll be turning the big 3-0 while we're there?

There's no possible way to list every cute thing that Audrey is doing these days, but we'll try to give you a small glimpse...It is so neat to watch Audrey figure things out- she's recently learned how to feed herself with a fork, and we've also caught her trying to comb her hair and put shoes on her feet! She is also walking more and more each day. Her latest record is 8 steps, and it seems to

May was quite a busy month for the Owen family! We decided to combine Mother's Day, our 7 year wedding anniversary (May 19th! Whoohoo!) and Audrey's FIRST BIRTHDAY (can't believe it) and celebrate with a little trip to our most favorite place on the planet- Disney World! All of these very special occasions happened to fall around the same time as one of Jeremy's trips to Cape Canaveral for

When we wait so long to post, we have LOTS to catch you up on! :) Audrey is growing and changing right before our eyes...seems like she's doing something new every day. She loves exploring the house...turning her room upside down (several times per day)...jumping in her crib like it's a trampoline...playing outside and enjoying the beautiful weather...chasing the cats (they can still out run her,

It's hard to believe that March is almost here, and that our little girl is almost 9 months old! We'll be celebrating three quarters of a year this coming Monday, the 25th! Here's what little miss Audrey has been up to... Since Christmas, she's gotten two bottom teeth, learned how to crawl and sit her self up on her own, pull up on things, and get into EVERYTHING. She has such a silly personality

Here are a few highlights from the end of 2007! It's hard to believe that our little baby girl is almost 8 months old! Check back soon for even more fun! Audrey loves her reflection... and we love her in hats. :) Give me that camera!!!...Sweet baby girl... Goodnight Moon is one of her favorites...especially the page with the kitties! Reading with dada...Happy girl! Fun at mealtime...

If you're like me, you've probably already given your ambitious Christmas list to someone in your family or a good friend. And those of you who would give the very clothes off your own back may almost be complete with your Christmas shopping already! However, this is one of those rare times that procrastination plays into our favor. If you haven't already jumped into the largest consumer rat race

We'll skip the apologies (for taking so long to update our blog) and get straight to the good stuff!It's hard to believe that Audrey was in my tummy just 5 months ago, yet she is doing SO many fun and amazing things! Since we last blogged, Audrey has become quite the vocal/social baby! She talks non-stop and loves interacting with people (although sometimes she gets embarrassed and burrows her

Oh how time is flying by! We can't believe that Audrey is 3 months old already... it seems like just yesterday that I tapped Jeremy on the shoulder (while he was in a deeeep sleep) to tell him I thought my water had broken. By the way, for those of you who don't know this story, he said "hm." and went back to sleep. After I told him the second time, he flew straight up in bed and said "WHAT?" :)

As the days go by, Audrey is developing such a fun personality! She already has several things that she likes and dislikes... Likes include piglet and bunny, being naked, spitting up, taking baths, diaper changes, and all of the silly noises and faces that mommy and daddy make! Dislikes include being burped, being taken out of the bath, putting on pj's, and when she isn't the center of attention.

Many of you know that I have the privilege of working very closely with an impressive group of individuals. Several of these people have storied military careers or more degrees than can be counted on the normal human hand. These unbelievable levels of education and career experience tend to blend together over the years, and many of them become more like your average co-worker. However, every

Sorry it's been so long since we've posted. I hope everyone had a relaxing and safe 4th of July! As you can see we've got a little patriotic baby already! Her first six weeks sure have been full of all the "fireworks" mom and dad need, but maybe next year we can venture out and start a fun family tradition of apple pie, baseball, and fireworks. God bless America...and Audrey!

Well, since we've shown you some of the greatest hits, it's only fitting that we show you how things really are around here. This last month has been very interesting, but a blast none-the-less. The following image is proof that we really don't have it all under control.

Wow! It's already been one month. I know people warned us that time would fly and Audrey would grow up so fast, but nobody said it would defy the laws of physics (sorry for my geeky engineering reference)!! We've had a great first month with Audrey and look forward to hundreds more. Below are a handful of images that attempt to capture some of the greatest hits of her first month of life.

Audrey has been blessed with the greatest sets of grandparents a child could ask for. From buying her endless amounts of clothing to holding her for endless hours, both Grammy and Grandad and Nana and Papa have already shown their great love for their newest grandchild.We greatly appreciate the time you have spent here helping us and loving on us in Texas.

Well, it's official! My daughter has truly captured my heart. From the very first day, she has been a daddy's girl; and I am completely wrapped around her finger. Before her second day in this world was over, I had already decided that she can't date, drive, or ever leave home! I'm kidding of course, but having a child does significantly realign what you consider important in life. The trivial

Ah, the adventure begins! As I dove into the first diaper change, several questions flooded my overwhelmed mind. What if it smells too bad? Will I die if it gets on my hands? How many colors can it really be? What do I do with those flailing legs and arms? I'll be changing how many of these a day? There really can't be that much stuff in the diaper...I mean she's so small, right?Fortunately, all

Despite arriving 2 weeks early, Elizabeth and I were blessed with a beautiful healthy baby Audrey on Friday evening. She’s so wonderful! The nurses said she was one of the “cheesiest” babies they had ever seen. Both Mom and Dad are in love already!Born: Friday, May 25 at 5:59 pmWeight: 7 lbs 12 ouncesLength: 19 1/2 inches

Well, the showers have begun, and we’ve been getting everything we need. They started on March 24 in Chattanooga, with the latest this past Saturday. We greatly appreciate all the gifts everyone has so graciously given us.God has already been blessing us with so much, and these latest gifts are just that much more. Thanks to all!
