Little Mr. Owen Nicholas: Week 52- Owen's last week as a baby!

It's been a busy and exciting week around here. Last week was officially my last week of maternity leave (this week I am still home but technically "on vacation"). Since this week was our last week together before Owen started daycare we tried to make the most out of it by making it to every last playdate, strollerfit session, trips to the park, and even Marine Land for the day! We had an incredibly busy weekend filled with parties, parties, parties and so much cake! It was Owen's friend Alistairs 1st birthday on Saturday, June 30 (but he isn't having his party until August), Ksenia's 1st birthday on Sunday July 1, and Owen's 1st birthday on July 2. This coming weekend we have 2 more 1 year old birthday parties to go to- Annabelle turns 1 on Saturday July 7 and Kaitlyn on Sunday July 8. It really was an amazing weekend this past weekend that I will remember forever, and even though Owen probably won't remember it, I know he had a great time and he can always look back on the pictures.

Here are some shots of our trip to Marine Land with Ksenia and her mom Yuliya and Camden and her Mom Michelle, last Thursday. It was a great day!

Love my birthday boy so much!

I think this picture is so neat! Killer Whales are a beautiful animal

I think its safe to say, they had a good time at Marine Land!

On Saturday we had a "Summer Party" in our backyard which was not an actual birthday party for Owen (we didn't decorate or have a cake for him as we were doing that on Monday with family) but Owen was still treated as the birthday boy and got spoiled with lots of gifts. Here are some pics from the party. We had 35 adults and 15 kids ranging from the age of 4 months to 6 years old. It was so much fun!
