Hello........sorry for that lack of updates!!! I have alot to share, so I'll start with the MOST important news first!!!! We welcomed a new cousin from Florida in May...Hudson Cole, and we are expecting ANOTHER boy in October....Cassian (Cash) Kasper.....we couldn't be more excited!!!
Our summer has been great...we got pool passes and LOVE to go....Owen is in a "sport" camp at the YMCA and is loving that!!!! Addie is growing SO big SO fast, she's got the best personality and is so much fun to be around!!! She is a "parrot" these days, and will repeat most anything you say to her! Her and Owen have good moments and of course "brotherly-sisterly" moments...as expected, but she really looks up to him and tries her hardest to keep up! We had a GREAT holiday and I know that the kids are REALLY going to miss their UnKle D., Addie really took to him and they became BEST buds REAL fast!!!! I hope everyone is enjoying the summer and checking out all the new pics I add!!!!

XOXOX, Dad, Mom, Owen and Addie

As of Tuesday the 12th.....Owen has a new BEST friend at school and HER name is Isabella!!! The teachers had told me Tuesday that they really played nicely togther and today when I picked him up they said a "romance" has really started!!! They HAVE to sit by each other and they play SO well together!! He told me that she has 3 cats, and she will be coming over to play with him, and he wants to take her for a ride in his Jeep!!!!! Lord help me if this is starting already!!!!!

grandma: With someone as cute and nice as Owen, I'm surprised it hadn't started sooner....I hope I can meet Isabella before the school year is over!

I'm so happy to say that Owen is back to LOVING school and going in all by himself with NO hesitation!!!! I think sometimes he just has to push the envelope to see what he can get away with, and we continued through it, and we won!!! He had his V-day party today and gave each of his teachers carnations, and it was the sweetest thing ever!!!! Please check out the newest pictures and videos.......to see how Addie is changing!!! She is saying a few words and I just can't believe that in a little over a month my "baby" will be a year!!!:(

I HAD to share this little story!!!!

We (the whole family) went to the Chiro. this evening and then to dinner! We have this train restaurant here that Owen LOVES!!!! They have a big model for the kids to control and then if you sit at the bench your food is brought out on a train!!! SO Owen says he wanted to go there for dinner (Jason had just taken him there for lunch on Saturday!!! SO he kept saying to Owen it's mommy's turn to pick where we go, that we can't always to to the train restaurant!!! He went on to say the maybe mommy doesn't want to there, that we have to go other places that mommy likes! Owen's response was.................."Well daddy, can't we just leave mommy in the car!!!!!"" :P

Hello........as you can see Addie is getting SOOO big!!! She is such a joy, and I just cannot put into words how complete our family feels and how happy we are!!! She is cruising along everything, but no steps taken yet, and finally has 2 bottom teeth!!! Owen continues to be the best big brother he can be......sharing toys...not sharing toys and occasionally knocking Addie down (by accident of course;) )!!! He's a bit of a hand full sometimes, so I have to tell myself that I would be worried if he wasn't!! I just wish it to be not often that more!!! He still he doing great in school, still a little hesitant to go, but his teachers say that it only takes minutes to warm up! So in a nutshell, we are all doing great, and can't wait for spring to come, so we can start to let out some much needed pent up energy!!!!!;)!!! I'm always adding pictures so be sure to continue to check then out!!!!

Sorry for the lack of updates...so much has been going on, it's defintely overdue!!! First Owen is still doing SO well in school....for some reason after the Halloween party he has been having a hard time geting dropped off, but is fine once he's there! His teachers tell me how they love to hear him talk, how sweet he his and he plays so well all his classmates! He has grown so much since he started school and I love to hear about his day and all the things that they do in class! Addie is really taking off and is growing up TOOO fast!!! Within 2 days she was crawling, started to stand in her crib and is pulling herself up on anything she can get her hands on! She says "mama" all the time and "dada" too! She LOVES to eat and is still so taken by her BIG brother Owen!!! He also is still SO good to her....but now that she is somewhat mobile and can get to his toys, I have a feeling that his feeling might change a bit ;)!
I hope everyone had a good holiday, and is staying well, please check in for pictures.....and new videos!
XOXO, The Rettig Family

Sorry for the lack of updates.......we are way overdue!! Owen is LOVING school and his teachers say that he is a chatterbox and a real sweetheart!! He has made a friend and his name is Charlie...his teacher says they play so good together and they are always by each others side. He is in his big boy bed, and that has been a real roller coaster ride....bedtime is whenever he finally gives up trying to "stay up"!!! Addie is also doing great, she just adores Owen and always has a smile on her face!!! I think she is really going give Owen a run for his money when she really becomes mobile! They both adore Scout and he is just the sweetest thing to Addie.....her face lights up when comes to be by her and he lets himself be her toy! We just might have to get another puppy ;)- so that they each have one.......I think sharing him may be a bit hard for Owen ;)!! I'm just kidding...(maybe after they are both in school)!!! I hope everybody is having a great fall and keep checking back for more pictures!!!
