As is our typical pattern, we are late with this post. As is also becoming somewhat of a pattern, the reason is that we keep finding ourselves taking weekend trips to see grandparents without any down time in between. I guess it's tough to help ourselves, since the kids seem to enjoy themselves so much.

Compared to other weeks, this one was pretty laid back. We didn't make any major trips out. Instead, we opted to hang out around the house and take advantage of our momentary lapse into calm.

Hooray! By posting on Saturday I'm actually getting a technically on-time post for the first time in weeks (perhaps months). It wasn't a terribly busy week, but somehow that didn't stop us from snapping quite a few photos (not to mention a few videos).

Believe it or not, the little guy turned 11 months old on Sunday. In just a few short weeks we'll be working like crazy to clean up the house in preparation for a birthday party. Until then, we'll probably just try to keep a baseline level of cleanliness (just short of how-did-a-tornado-get-in-here) and make sure that we don't get behind on this thing.

We were having a conversation about keeping things up to date around here, and my lovely wife mentioned to me that in my attempt to capture Owen's 11 month blog I somehow managed to neglect everything else that happened two weeks ago. Clearly this issue must be rectified immediately.

Of course this means that I'm now behind again, but what else is new?

We decided to take it a little easier during the week after our horrifying visit to the hair torturer. We managed to relax a little, but that didn't stop things from moving inexorably forward.
