Yeah! The cast is off! Owen was not happy while they were grinding through it with a tool Eric wants for his jobsite, but he sure is happy to have it gone. The doc said the x-ray looks good, he's free to move about freely and is crawling two ways (on his knees and scootching on his bottom. He tried to pull himself to a stand but didn't quite get there. As far as we know he has never walked but the doctor said he should be in no time, next check-up, one month. To celebrate we had his first bath in the U.S. which he loved! I also reposted a photo of the older boys first shower from a couple of weeks ago, no "parts showing this time. The sleeping situation is slightly better, more on that in a day or two. This couch pose of the sleeping beauties was taken one afternoon while Eric was "watching" the boys while I caught up on chores downstairs. I heard feet shuffling (suppose to be napping) and came up to find Owen in his crib , a sleeping Daddy and Charlie and Sam wide awake watching TV (he know how to turn it on already). The last thought of the day - gates - you can never have too many. We live in a land of gates now, which will be newly tested now that #3 is on the move. I'll do a count tomorrow and report back. Sweet dreams - 11 pm and still no waking...

What beautiful pictures! So good to see Owen with two legs... We love to keep up with how you're doing. The boys look so happy and busy. We think of you often here at school and wish you more sleep in the coming weeks........ Janice and the Sedo crew.
Melissa,
It was worth waiting for my dial up service to see your pictures and read your blog. Your boys are sooo beautiful. I am happy for you and Eric and know that the boys are lucky. I have thought of you a lot and am glad that things are going well. Enjoy your time with them. Despite the long nights, the time goes quickly.
