Play

Owen asks me a million times a day if it's time to pick up Bo. "Bo" is his nickname for Kam. From the minute we drop her off, he asks for his "goodbye kiss" and starts the countdown until we pick her up. He just loves her so much!! I know the love goes two ways and she misses him just as much.

Some days they both go straight upstairs and lay in her bed while listening to her iPod. Some days, like yesterday, Owen really wanted her to play. She had a bunch of homework, but still took 30 minutes to have a snack with him and play!
I play with Owen all day... whatever he wants to do.  He has play dates with other guys his age.  We run errands and try to keep busy.  We play at the park everyday and he has a couple girlfriends that play with him there.  Nothing, and I mean nothing, beat his time playing with Sis!!!  He gets so excited and happy!! 
Then he gets silly and starts to wrestle her.  He wrestles everyone, but there is something about the way Kam plays the victim and lets him beat her up that makes it a little more fun.  The rest of us put  up a fight and a challenge.
These two kiddos are the best thing that ever happened to us!! They are the best kids!

After 30 minutes of wrestling, Owen was blue, and Kam was ready to retire to her room to relax before starting homework.  Owen and I sat on the couch and watched all the crazy videos I had stored on my hard drive of the kids.  I laughed so hard at their antics!! 
I couldn't be more proud to be their Mommy!  I can't imagine life can get much better than this!

Those two are just the cutest! Kam is with Owen, like my Eli is with Isaac. There's just some special bond there that melts my heart everyday.

Owen is SO lucky to have you lovely ladies in his life!
