One Year Anniversary

It has been one year since Owen's heart surgery, and we are so amazed at his progress from last year until now. He was just starting to crawl before his surgery and now he's running, jumping and climbing all over the place! He enjoys climbing and jumping on our couch cushions playing "Ocean" with Clara in the living room. He loves to color and read books and tell knock- knock jokes he makes up himself. His funniest quotes have been: As we were passing McDonalds, "Donald Ducks!" When we turned on some Jazz music he was saying, "Listen Jasmine" (which is a Disney princess and his only association with "jazz"). As I was putting Owen's first year pictures in his scrapbook it seemed strange to see him swimming in the pool without the scar on his chest. We've grown so accustomed to it and it holds such a special story of God's faithfulness in our lives. We thank you again for your many prayers for Owen and our family throughout this last year.

Disney World Photos

Here are a few recent pictures of Owen. The first two are from our November trip to Disney World in Florida. The others are from a day of fun at Grandma Tea's house making Christmas cookies. As you can see, Owen is very healthy and doing great!

I love playing in the water!

"O" is for Owen!
