Busy Week

The weekend of July 19th was a busy one for us. On Thursday night Nick worked in the FFA Alumni Food Stand at the Pulaski Polka Day's. It's amazing how many polish sausages and perogies can be eaten in an evening. The next morning Nick was the go-getter again by running in the Pulaski Polka Trot 5K. He didn't win - but he was the oldest in his age category. We'll say that is the reason ...

Owen was distraught when he heard that walking was a prerequisite for the race.

The sign reads "Keep On Going, You Can Do It!"

That afternoon we attended another big family wedding. Owen was an all - star throughout the day. Not only did he sleep the entire 2 hour trip to the ceremony, he was well behaved (quiet) and didn't throw too many Cheerios. We lucked out again with a short nap between the ceremony and the reception. Before Owen went to spend the night at Grandma's house, we took the mandatory 128 cousin pictures. Here are some highlights:

"Seriously, you couldn't pick out a different shirt?"

Big cousin Mya took control of the boys and made sure everyone smiled for the camera.

Occasionally we feel overwhelmed with Owen. But this picture of Nick's brother and sister-in-law reminds us of how easy Owen is.

Owen is so easy. Or do we just make it look easy?
