Eight years ago.



I looked like this. I know what you are thinking. That is an incredibly attractive woman. Who is just tiny.
This was our first family photo. Owen was eight hours old. My biggest worry was that he was going to be ugly.
Thank goodness I didn't have to have that trial.
Here we are on his first birthday. I'm eating his cake because he didn't want anything to do with it.
A couple of years later and still happy, sweet boy.
Who, as it turned out is so amazing.
You can always always count on Owen to have a smile on his face and cheerful attitude in his heart. He loves to have fun and be helpful. He is such a force for happiness and it just feels good to be around him. He has suffered trials; but continues on as if the sun was always shining on his back.
I couldn't be prouder of any son. He makes us proud with all he is and does. We love you son. More than you know but no less than you deserve.

  2. And to think that I bribed the doctors in Pa with Russian candy and ... He sure turned out better looking than his mom and dad.
