This one is for Uncle Casey! Even though we think the mascot is kind of offensive :), Rowan wears his jersey proudly to support Uncle Casey's school!

Mommy and Rowan getting ready to brave the cold to go for a walk...we were feeling crazy being trapped in the house!

Bath time in the big tub!

Just a cute one...

8 months photo shoot

Our dear friend Kristen was generous enough to offer to document Rowan's first year as a shower gift...8 months later, here is a sneak peek of our latest photo session. Visit her blog to see more! I am sure we will be posting many more in the coming weeks.

Grandpa's alma mater

On one of my Dad's trips to Ohio to see his family, he brought back this shirt for Rowan. It is the college my Dad went to. It is a little long, but fits him pretty good otherwise. My Dad played baseball and football there...as soon as Rowan can walk, I know Grandpa will be ready to teach him how to play. Although, Josh and I have joked that we will tell Rowan that baseball is an imaginary sport played on TV because we don't want to sit through the countless painful hours of t-ball and little league.

8 months

Time with Dad

Josh and Rowan spending a little time together after a bath and before bed.

Happy Birthday Granny!

I hope you have a wonderful day! I wish we could be together!

Long lost pictures

I am working on making Rowan a "Who loves Rowan?" book on shutterfly. Basically it will go through family photos asking, "Who loves Rowan?....Mommy and Daddy love Rowan!" etc. I thought it would be a good way for Rowan to learn to recognize family members that he sees all the time and the ones he doesn't get to see as often. In the process of searching for photos of all the members of the family I had to raid my parents computer and found some pictures we didn't have in our stash. Here are some of the people that love Rowan:)

A few new ones

Rowan has hard a really hard time teething. He won't eat or sleep, so he's lucky he's so cute. You can really see his teeth in this one...he has two more on top, but they are harder to see. Four teeth in a month could bother anyone I suppose.


I think he looks so much like a 'Hayden' in this one. The bigger he gets the more he looks like his daddy. He reminds me a lot of his uncle Casey too...maybe its the hair :)

I love this one
