Owen is going to be three!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! I really can't believe it! Owen will be 3 in 13 days! August 19th is the big day! He is growing up way too fast! I miss having a little baby to hold! Every now and then, he lets me rock him like a baby, but most of the time, he is quick to say: "I am big boy now!"

He is almost completely potty trained....We are working on the waking up to go potty at night....but when he has an accident, he is quick to strip off his clothes, and put on new ones, then he moves to our room and squeezes in between Michelle and I. Actually, he usually takes over the bed! He is a stinker! But he is getting there! He usually says: "Oops. I had an accident. But it's 'otay;. Accidents happen sometimes." How can you be mad when he says that? He is too cute!

He is still obsessed with swordfighting.....and he is getting better and better too! It reminds me of me and younger brothers playing when we were kids......man..that was so long ago!

Owen has also become quite the jokester and trickster! The other day while we were in church, he looked at me and said: "I have to go poo-poo." I quickly took him out and brought him to the bathroom, then when I finally got there, he said: "I was just tricking you daddy." HE GOT ME! I didn't think they'd start doing that till they are teenagers....but I am watching out!

But he is a fun boy to be with! I love my son! He gives me big hugs and kisses every time I leave for work in the morning, and as soon as he hears the garage door open in the afternoon, he runs to the door, and starts waving at me. Then we always get the mail together! That's our tradition, I guess!

Well, that's all for now.

Slow down! Icy Road Conditions!

The picture above shows what happened to the car after I got into car crash on my way to work. I left at 6 a.m. hoping to beat rush hour traffic not thinking about the bad road conditions. I haven't gone to work for a couple of days and I know I needed to get back in the office. it was about 3 miles from my house where I was driving over an icy bridge and I lost control of the car. I don't remember much from what happened other than the fact that I tried to gain control of the car as I was swerving left and right and I missed one car, but another car headed towards me from the opposite direction hit me right on and I spun around. It all happened really fast! I remember checking to make sure I could feel my feet. And then I called 911. A police officer was there within minutes. The trip to the hospital was unbearable even though they hit me with morphine! I laid on that stretcher in the emergency room for hours because they wouldn't move me until all the x rays and scans were completed and evaluated. It was a pretty uncomfortable 5 hours! But I got out of it okay without any major injuries - just a few bruises here and there. I was glad! I am grateful that my life did not end then! I had a few thoughts go through my head as I hit that truck. One thing was: "Did I buy enough life insurance to sustain my family? and "Am I ready to go?" Sadly, the answer to both questions were no. And it makes me realize how short and unpredictable this life is. I really want to be a better person, to really cherish every single minute I have with my family. I love my wife and my son, and the rest of my family, but to go through an experience when it seemed like everything was to be stripped of you, it really opens your eyes to a better perspective of what is truly important in life.
