Celebrations!

We have done a lot of celebrating lately! Here are a few:

My niece Brittni's Baptisim
We are so proud of her for making the best decision she could ever make, to follow Jesus for the rest of her life!

Grammy's Birthday

These pictures were taken after dinner at her favorite restaurant, P.F. Chang. As you can see, trying to get a picture with all three grandkids...well it's trying. She was thrilled with her "His and Her John Deer tumblers."

Family Reunion in Missouri

We had so much fun on our trip to Missouri. Not only did we spend time with Grandpa's family but we celebrated Grandpa's birthday too. What a great weekend it was!

Finally, can I just say, "Come on Autumn!" We love fall at our house and we are so ready! Here is a picture to get you in the mood for Autumn, if you aren't already.

Owen's Weekend

Owen attended his first birthday party for a friend this weekend. Actually...friends. His friends, B&B turned 1. After the party, Daddy said "Let's go to the park." We had a blast. Owen loved the slide the best. Sorry that the pictures a bit blurry, it is hard to catch a moving object!


The best thing about the birthday party for Owen...balloons! He went crazy for the balloons and thank goodness he got to bring on home. He's not smiling in this picture, but he loves his balloon! Who knew something so simple could make him so happy.

Hope you all have a great week!

Eight!

8...# of months Owen has been home! Can you believe it? We sure can't!

8...# of months Owen lived in Korea, in the loving care of his foster family.

8...# of teeth Owen is cutting at one time! Can you believe that? All four one year molars AND all four eye teeth are in various stages of making an appearance.

Owen is doing great! He must have a miserable sore mouth, but most of the time he is happy and bubbly. Finally yesterday his Grandma got a peek in his mouth to see what was going on and much to her surprise, she found a mouth full action! He will soon have a mouth full of teeth!

I told him that when he gets all those teeth in, Momma will take him out for a steak!

Here is one (not so new) picture (didn't want to leave you without one)...it is one of my favorites.

Owen and Friend

This is Owen and his friend who was also born in Korea. Their Birthdays are actually 4 days apart. This means that they were probably in the nursery together at Eastern. We had the opportunity of meeting Owen's friend and his family recently at Korea camp. We had a wonderful time and we look forward to many more years of fun at Korea camp.


I will post more soon, but I thought you might like to see these quick pictures.

Trip to Grammy and Grampy's

We celebrated Independence Day with a trip to Grammy and Grampy's. We did all the usual Fourth of July things...swimming, cooking out, fireworks and homemade ice cream. What a fun time!

This was our first overnight trip with Owen. Can I just say, that we felt like we were loading up and moving a small city? I think I made it there with everything we needed, but on the way home I forgot about half of my stuff (including my camera cord). Thanks to Grammy for making a trip to see us for lunch and returning all the stray items.

Thought you might enjoy seeing this picture of Owen on the carousel! He loved it! By the third trip around he was letting go and waving with one hand when he went by us. He cried when the ride was over...how cute is that?
