For Owen's "Gamma", a photo by marymactavish on Flickr.

I'm loving pinterest for bookmarking right now, especially saving ideas for Owen's next few years and for Christmas decor/food (we're hosting family at our place, this year -- or rather, families, all of our available families -- for a very casual Christmas day brunch.

I want Owen's first Christmas to be all lights and sparkle but as not-overwhelming as possible, and one way to manage that is to minimize travel, and maximize proximity to his bed.

There's a picture of Audrey out there in which she's pulling stuff out of a kitchen cabinet, and smiling about it. I managed to catch this shot of Owen just as he's tossing books off my geography table's shelf. I'll have to really cram them in there until he's old enough to get past that.

I just noticed the icons I have available, and it looks like tiny-Owen is the most recent! I'll have to upload something with bigger-Owen.
