How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. - Annie Dillard

And now there are 2
















"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." Psalm 139:13

Owen has arrived! And so much has changed all in an instant. Our lives have already been extremely blessed by this little man.

We wondered who he would look like and what he would be like and it is so fun to get to know him day by day. I know as parents we can't "compare" our children. But it is fun to note the similarities and differences between Gram and Owen. It will be interesting to see how these may play out in their lives.

1. Gram was 6 days early and Owen was 6 days late. But they were both born on a Saturday morning.
2. Gram was born c-section after 29 hours of labor. Owen was born al' natural after just 5 hours of labor.
3. Gram fought sleep like his life depended on it. Owen has embraced sleep like his life depended on it.
4. Gram's eyes were wide opened from the moment he was born, as if he wanted to take in the whole world all at once. Owen's eyes are shut most of the time as if he he wants to take in the world small chunks at a time.
5. Gram looked like a Bagby from the get go. Owen resembles my side of the family, the Lashbrooks. And while Gram and Owen look a lot alike, it is really cool to see two families being represented in two new creations, new people that are each their own.

I will never forget the moment that I met each of my boys for the first time. I felt pure joy and awe at the work of God's hands and the miracle of birth and life.

Gram and Owen are more perfect and beautiful than we ever could have planned or imagined. God has blessed us and the world with these two amazing boys. We are thankful they have both been entrusted to us and pray they will be thankful that we are their parents.

Let the new journey begin!
