What Owen's been up to...

Sitting in a shopping cart for the first time,

Playing in the hamper,

Driving the car,

waiting for uncle Layton at the airport,

and spending lots and lots of time with Layton!!


He's home, and he's amazing!! It has been so fun, it seems like all I've done is follow him around since he's been here. Owen LOVES him, he is such a cute uncle!! The Sunday afternoons at my parent's house finally feel complete again, and he has brought such a happy uplifting spirit with him. For the first time in my life, I feel like my younger brother is so much older and wiser than me.

Those are such sweet pictures of your little guy! Fun stuff. That's great your brother is home now and that Owen likes him so much! Jason's brother got hom from his mission in January and it took awhile for Jordan to warm up to him! He was only 5 months when he left. Glad things are going well.

Complete is a perfect word to describe it! He really is a great uncle already. When did Owen get so old. All of those things that he is doing in the pictures make him seem so old, and he is, I just still can't believe it sometimes!

He's home!! I still remember when Treavor came home! It is the best. Owen in the hamper is so cute! I also love him sitting in the shopping cart. It's so fun, it's like you have a little friend to talk too while you shop.

He is getting so big. His little personality just shines through.

SO cute Sara! I love it when they are big enough to sit in the cart but not too big that they know how to get out! Enjoy this time!! He is a doll & I'm so glad your brother is home! That is always a wonderful thing to have a missionary come home!!
