Merry Christmas!

This is Tucker and I have some news to report on.

Maddy and I arrived back home last night after 2 days with the Owens side of the family in Quincy, IL. First, Larry and his wife Tangela (Dave's brother) and their daughter came up for a visit in Downs and we drove to Quincy together. Maddy and I always are excited to go to a new place because we love being with Dave, Em and even Will but we are always glad to get home too.

Here are some fun pictures from this past weekend.

Will and I are getting along well. I even let him snuggle with me. Dave and Em keep a close eye on me and Will but since I kind of like him I won't hurt him. He just might fall and my paws have a hard time catching anything.

The shirt is from Em's good friend, Rachel. It sums Will up - Silly.

Will has a new ride. Dave and Em say it is a stroller and a bike trailer. The stroller is for walking which is something I understand but not so sure about the Bike trailer part. It has a spot for two little people. I think Maddy could maybe fit in there. I probably could but honestly, I am a little bit too big. Will would have to sit somewhere else. Thanks Aunt Marilee and Uncle Norm for the awesome gift.

Grandma Betsy gave Will a bottle which from what I can tell is where Will can get some food. That was the first time she had fed him and was a pro.

This was the first visit we had with Carly. She was a very nice young lady and enjoyed holding Will. She was really good at it! She could make him stop crying which, believe me, is really nice.

On Christmas morning Dave, Em, Will and Grandma Betsy met Larry, Tangela and Carly at Quinsippi Island. Dave and Em had to deactivate a geocache (see http://www.geocaching.com/ for more information). It was a beautiful morning. Maddy and I enjoyed running in the snow. We had a blast!

And here are some pictures of Will's first Christmas. I think it is interesting that humans celebrate the baby's first Christmas but none after that. I mean, they only have 1 second Christmas too but you don't see ornaments for Toodler's Second Christmas. Oh well....

Father like son.

Will's Auntie Dawn loves her nieces and nephews. She wanted to sart Will out early with talking on the phone so she gave hims first cell phone. I am sure he was more excited on the inside than he looks in this picture. He also received some clothes, more toys and lots of hugs and kisses.

All in all, it was a nice Christmas. Papa Charlie is coming up this weekend to see Will (also to see Dave and Em but I think we all know who he is more interested in seeing!).

Reporting on behalf of the entire Owens Family, Merry Christmas and see you next year!

Sorry I would have written sooner but there was a communication error between me and Tucker. I thought he was posting, he thought I was posting... At anyrate, I am posting now.

So much has happened in the last month. Will is still with us and I like him more and more every day. He still can't throw a ball but he is moving his arms and legs more and more every day. He is even talking. It is really funny to listen to him talk when he goes to bed. Today he just talked and talked. He is a funny little boy and super cute. Take a look:
