{OWL} First meeting…

The first time I held a baby was about 37 years ago – it was my brother Brian, & I was 4 years old. On the day he was born, I actually got my first pair of glasses (which is only just a side note but an important detail to me). I took my job as an older sister very seriously- I still do. I really enjoyed helping my mom take care of him. It was like having a real live doll &  I have fond memories cuddling with him.

At the end of February, my brother & his wife had their first baby. His name is Owen Walker Loffer (aka OWL). I was obviously excited for all of us, but particularly excited for Sayer. I couldn’t wait for him to have a chance to hold his little cousin – he is exactly that same age that  I was when Brian was born. Sayer also takes the responsibility of being an older cousin seriously- we have chatted about it often. We took a little road trip this weekend to meet  Owen & Sayer finally got to hold him.

We all wore our owl tees & had our chance to hang out with the cozy OWL. It was a very cool day. I love this photo of my brother, son, & nephew – full circle. I think these guys will have lots of fun together in the years ahead.

So that is our big news. What did you do this weekend?

{Music Monday} 2 Cousins…

When I saw this video on the Handmade Romance FB page Thursday, it made me smile. So much so, that I knew that I had to pass it on.  It was a rather appropriate find as we’ve been talking a lot about cousins at our house.  Sayer is going to have a new cousin (one that will be in this state – rather than across country) sometime in February & we are all VERY excited. I’ve been going through old pictures lately & found this one of me, my little brother, & my two favorite cousins (who also have February birthdays). I really don’t think I need to tell you which one I am, do I? If you have any doubts, just look at Sayer’s picture & you will know right away. In this picture, I’m very close to the age Sayer will be when his cousin is expected to arrive- they will have about the same years apart as my brother & I do (4yrs). We all look forward to the day that Sayer will have a cousin to dance with too! Happy Music Monday!
