A week off

My sister Christy and her daughter Hannah were in town for a week, so I was away from the computer. It was great having her here. There is nothing like a sister. It was so great having help with Owen and just company. Hannah is pretty funny. One night my mother was watching her while Christy went to Gruene Hall with an old friend. Hannah was apparently watching some forbidden TV because the next day she told me she watched some movie called "Shark Attack" and there was a part where a guy "tries to drunk a girl and get her to lay down and kiss her, but she can't because she's asleep". Wow! I wasn't even allowed to watch "M*A*S*H" when I was a kid. I tried to get Hannah started on a blog herself, but she informed me that between school and TV, there would be very little time for blogging. I understand. Anyway, they are gone now and I miss them terribly.

On sunday Jeff and I took Owen to Gruene to eat lunch and into Gruene Hall for a his first live band. The band was just...meh, but we got a few cute pics of him on the dance floor. My Ome and her sisters used to go dancing there in a covered wagon if you can believe it. I love when it is so crowed there that the floor is literally bouncing up and down and people are on the tables dancing...

After all of that excitement, Owen got some mysterious fever and shrieking sickness. I was truly frightened for one of the first times of my life. I guess all babies have to get sick some time...He has had a cold before, but that night he was screaming and feverish. Katrina saved the day though with her sensible calm. Thanks!
Owen's new thing is a direct result from his illness I think. He shrieks now. Just shrieks when he wants something. It is so unnerving to me that I instantly comply. He has also learned to open and shut the doors here at Ome's House. He just LOVES to do dangerous things. Why is that?

All in all, fun week! I will post the pics later.
