ok, nothing really too new or exciting to report. we finally got a couple of inches of snow. maybe some more this weekend? no big whoop. heading into the weekend with no major plans. we might actually have a couple of owen visitors, which we've had surprisingly few of. he's doing well by the way... and no new pictures yet.
we got a suprise package from my friends from colorado (who are moving to mn this spring). a box full of super-cute boy outfits for owen! (thanks liz!). they are such cool people. anyhoo..a busy day awaits at work. later...

oh yeah, i accepted the volunteer position of webmaster for the chamber music minnesota website . i haven't actually done anything with it yet, but i'm asked to maintain it and make changes as needed. should be fun and a way to keep up on my web design skills.

happy to be back up. was a relatively quiet weekend. got caught up on the house chores and watched the movie "signs" with mel gibson. it was basically a 2 hour x files episode which is why i didn't really "get it". two out of four stars is being generous. took in the superbowl at home this year, which was fine by me. had a mini-party with the family. taking the taurus in for some minor repairs? it's been leaking oil for several weeks. fix it! check in in a couple of days...

my website has been "down" for a couple of days now which is very frustrating. of course, if you can read this, it is back up which is a good thing. it's very hard to get any feedback from angelfire\lycos "support". i understand that my webhost is providing me space for free, minus their advertising, but if it doesn't work, what good is it? anyway, i can log into my webshell and i can see the pages and the directory structure is there, just not able to view it. hopefully this will be resolved soon. more later???

no new pictures...still...owen is doing well and is getting used to us a little. had a nice long weekend thanks to mlk. got some miscellaneous chores done. oh yeah, i dislocated my pinky finger playing hoops at the Y on friday. that hurt. fortunately there was a dr. onsite to pop it back in. still kinda purple and swollen. busy as heck at work these days. fires are flaring up faster than i can put them out. look forward to seeing my sis from montana for a couple of days and showing off the new son. rock on...

need to check in again. no new pictures, (sorry mom). maybe if i ditched my full time job i could do a better job of maintaining this site? it's been a busy but fast week. taking the whole family, yes, even owen, to sesame street live tonight. (woo-hoo!) the girls are all geeked up for it. should be fun.
weekend is coming fast, have monday, MLK day off. maybe time to catch up with a few things then.
i did some research on the name "owen price". apparently, he is also an up-an-coming english soccer star .
more later...

hello,
no new pictures or anything. just thought it was about time i posted here. owen is doing fine, each night seems to be a little better. allie and i "celebrated" our 10 year wedding anniversary yesterday. i use the term celebrated loosely. we both agreed ahead of time to not do gifts or even cards. there's just too much going on right now, plus, owen is gift enough for both of us. at one point, long ago, we had illusions of going sompleace warm and sunny for our ten year. instead, the whole family went out to dinner at a family type restauraunt - woo-hoo!, (no, it wasn't perkins). it was the first time all five of us were out together. life is good! more later...

i have posted a few more pictures here or, click on the images link above. everyone at home is adjusting normally. back to work on wednesday :-(

to all family members, (and any other concerned parties). i WILL have more pictures posted as soon as i get a chance. things are a little bit busy at home right now. maybe by tonight or tomorrow for sure.
owen is doing well. not really getting the traditional night vs.day sleeping pattern thing yet. that'll take awhile. one more day off of work (not counting today). more later...

owen patrick price arrived on 01-02-03, at 9:55 pm. he weighed in at 9lbs, 5 oz, and is 21" long. he has dark hair (for now) and has the same long eyelashes as his sisters! mom and baby doing very well and dad is surviving. he had his own ideas about how and when to be born but everything worked out in the end. a few more pics on the images page and more to come later. thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers!
