Welcome to the world, Owen!

                            Owen Paul, born 7-11-12 at 11:51pm.  6# 1oz, 20.75 inches long.

2 weeks ago we welcomed our baby boy to the world.  He came 1 month early, the day after Paul flew to Boston and 2 days before Aunt Michelle was coming to visit!  It was a big surprise to all of us.  Paul rushed back home and got to the hospital with a couple of hours to spare.  Aunt Michelle was the first to meet him.  Thank you to all our friends who helped out during this time.
Owen, what an exciting and dramatic start to your life!  We can tell life is not going to be boring with you here.  You are so sweet and cuddly, I'm completely in love with you.  I'm so happy to finally meet you.  I'm glad you are healthy.  I think you look like Daddy.  You are going to be tall like Daddy.  Lia is very excited to be your big sister.  She loves you already.  Monkey thinks your toes taste good.  You are an amazing and wonderful addition to our family.

Pool Party

 It's a pool party for Lia's 3rd birthday!  The weather was really iffy that weekend.  It was cloudy and cool but the rain stayed away thankfully.  The pool was heated which was nice.  We had so much fun with all of our friends.  It was definitely a memorable birthday.

Lia is 3!

Happy Birthday, Sweet Lia.  You have grown so much over the last 3 years.  You are a sweet, funny, smart little girl.  I love teaching you new things, playing with you, talking and laughing with you.  You are a such a special part of our family.  We love you!
