Life by the Sea...: August 2011
http://salinate.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Life by the Sea. Saturday, August 20, 2011. This month has been a busy one.(though Owen still finds time to catch up on his reading). We spent the first 8 days of August up in the "UP" (Michigan's Upper Peninsula), visiting the Bacheler grandparents and enjoying the cooler temperatures and the joy of sleeping with our windows open. See our Facebook pages for photos from that trip. Here's one more picture, of the family at Tahquamenon Falls State Park:. We said bon voyage to my parents last Saturday morni...

Life by the Sea. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. On Saturday, big white flakes started falling around 9am. By the late afternoon, we had nearly 7" of snow at our house, and this was the third snow event of the month! Here are some photos of our snowy Saturday, and of our budding bird watcher. Upcoming blog topic: Owen self-feeding and drinking (aka: lots of fun and lots of mess). Nate, Salinda and Owen. Monday, January 10, 2011. What a treat to wake up to big white snowflakes blanketing the yard!

Life by the Sea...: July 2011

Life by the Sea. Tuesday, July 26, 2011. I guess we're all trying to beat the heat these days. We've been going for fairly regular swims at our local pool. Owen is getting more and more enthusiastic about being in the water - he loves to sort of plop/fall off the pool edge into waiting arms (especially his Daddy's arms), and we even got him to tolerate some "swimmies" (those arm floats you have to blow up) over the weekend. Another way to stay cool is to just keep clothing to a minimum.

Life by the Sea. Thursday, June 23, 2011. In his daily practice to get up and walk, Owen has come to enjoy the Down Dog yoga position quite a bit. Here are a few examples:.

Life by the Sea. Monday, February 21, 2011. This past week, Owen decided he was finally ready to start saying some real words (I think he heard that his Cousin Kate was talking up a storm, and didn't want to be left in the dust! We joined a bunch of friends with their kids at the beach on Saturday - here are some photos of our fun. And a parting video of a little bit of cruising action and a "ma-ma-ma" caught on tape! Nate, Salinda and Owen. Thursday, February 10, 2011. Another Title for Titletown. We wa...

Life by the Sea...: November 2010
http://salinate.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Life by the Sea. Monday, November 22, 2010. Toys, books, playthings? No, Owen would rather head straight for extension cords, hammers, outlets, etc. The dangerous stuff. All kidding aside, it is great to watch him cruising around the house - he's quite the proficient crawler after just a week or two of practice. Here's a video to prove it. Aunt Stef sent us a cute house warming gift and a handmade card (which can be purchased on Etsy at http:/ goodstufflestef.etsy.com. Owen read it carefully.

Life by the Sea...: December 2010
http://salinate.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Life by the Sea. Friday, December 31, 2010. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We headed to Denver for Christmas, to visit Nate's brother Dan and his family (Aunt Molly, Cousin Kate - nearly 8 mo.- and dog Lucia) and Nate's parents, who flew in from the UP. I had visions of hot cocoa with the family at a mountain ski lodge, sightseeing along the Front Range, and maybe even a date night out for Nate and I with all the extra babysitters on hand! Alas, Santa (or the Grinch? Depending on the status of my si...

Life by the Sea. Thursday, March 31, 2011. Throwing, catching, singing. Lately, one of Owen's favorite activities is to play "catch" with a little help from Mom and Dad. We can get him outright shrieking with delight when we assist him in catching a ball in midair, but haven't yet caught that moment on video. No matter- here's a little video action of him playing catch with his frog toy. Nate, Salinda and Owen. Thursday, March 17, 2011. Happy St Patrick's Day. Earlier this week, our whole family came dow...

Life by the Sea...: September 2011
http://salinate.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Life by the Sea. Friday, September 23, 2011. Last night, when another friend stopped by, Nate had Owen practicing all the various sounds he can make (e.g., "Owen, what noise does a cow make? Mooooooooo"). Nate threw in a new impression for Owen to imitate, that of my various grunts and groans, which I can't seem to avoid when attempting to get up from any seated or prone position these days. Clearly, Owen thinks Dad's impressions of Mom are spot-on:. Nate, Salinda and Owen. Sunday, September 11, 2011.
