#157 - Beautiful Day at the Train Museum

This weekend has been absolutely beautiful in Savannah. Highs in the upper 70s with not a cloud in the sky. These "Chamber of Commerce days" have enticed us to get out of the house and explore our great city. Yesterday, we decided to check out the local Train Museum, which has gotten wonderful recommendations from many of our friends.

The Round House Railroad Museum is the largest and most complete Antebellum railroad repair facility still in existence in the world. It offers an intriguing history lesson on the importance of the railroad to the South as well as to American commerce for previous generations. A few times a day, the musuem offers shorts train rides for visitors. To say that Owen loved it would be an understatement!

Here are a few pictures from our day.

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful weekend as well!

Love,

The Saez Family

#156 - Watch out American Idol

Owen has turned into a singing machine these days. These videos were all shot on my new Flip video camera that Lou got me for Christmas. Hope you guys can see them!

Owen grabbed the cross off his dresser and started singing this song. Which curly-haired cousin of his does it remind you of? :) ha ha!

It's a beautiful weekend in Savannah - highs in the 70s and sunny. We spent most of the day outside - riding bikes, washing cars and playing with sidewalk chalk.

#155 - Conversations with a 2 1/2 year old

Early this morning

Katie: Come on, Owen, we have to get ready for church.

Owen: Mommy, you go to church. I stay here with Daddy.

Katie: No, Daddy has to go to church too.

Owen: Okay. Daddy and I go to church. Mommy, you stay here.

Katie: Gee thanks, son.

In church, as we are walking up for communion, in a very loud voice

Owen: Put me down, Daddy. I have a poopie!

Leaving church today

Katie: Lou, can you start the car while I change Owen's diaper?

Owen: Gentlemen, START YOUR ENGINES!!!

On the way home from church

Lou: Owen, you were not very good in church today. You were very loud.

Owen: Daddy, are you happy or sad?

Lou: I'm sad because you were not good in church.

Owen: Daddy, I'm sorry. I love you.

Lou: I love you too, Owen.

Owen: Daddy, are you happy now?

This week, at bedtime, talking to my belly

Owen: Hi baby. It's big brother, Owen. I love you.

Katie: Owen, feel this. The baby is kicking.

Owen: That's not nice. I kick the baby for you, Mommy.

#154 - Popped!

I've officially popped. As Lou so innocently said last night, "it seems like you got really big much faster this time around." :) He really meant that in a nice way.

I feel great. No complaints here. I've been trying not to pick up Owen as much because I know that in a few short weeks, I won't be able to at all.

We're starting to work on Owen's big boy room. We're getting it painted this week, and have ordered furniture. If I'm brave, I might attempt to make his window curtains.

We'll keep you updated on the progress!
