Owie is nine.

Breakfast of choice; waffles, eggs and sausage. Crown details this year, lots and lots of legos.


Dinner of choice; Lasagna (he just barely stopped calling it basagna), cheese bread, salad and chocolate cake, of course.


It just wouldn't be a party without a balloon launching, now would it.


She was not about to let go so easily. She held onto it for about twenty extra minutes. Then when it was only she and daddy outside she let it go. For gifts this year Owen got a Ripstick (a funky skateboard) and lots and lots of legos. He is very into them lately. Around ten o'clock at night we caught him still up in his room putting them together with the help of a flashlight.

Owen is such a good son, a great first child and example to his younger brother and sister. He's thoughtful and kind, determined and driven, Chad and I couldn't be prouder of him and just love him so much.
