Happy 4th Birthday Gram!



I know I will say this with each birthday, but wow, I can't believe you're 4!!  I remember the day you were born, I remember when you were still in my belly, I remember when I could hold you with just one arm.  You were so tiny.  And now you are so big!  You are tall and have long legs and big feet and are getting so heavy to carry.


It's so fun to talk to you Gram.  You have a big imagination and are always thinking of new ways to play with your toys.  And you don't miss anything!  Whatever you see or experience, you play out with your toys, it's so cool to see how God made you to learn through play.  You are loving stories, especially Bible stories and stories when mommy and daddy were little.  



You are such a good big brother!  I can finally say that with complete truth!  It has taken you a little while to adjust to having Owen around, but you are so sweet with him.  You are patient and considerate of him.  You love to help him and help me with him.  I am so appreciative of that.  Most times, you gladly give up a toy if Owen is wanting to play with it.  You try to not aggravate him but rather help him to play and settle down if he gets upset.  And you are so excited to teach Owen "lots of thing" you say, like how to ride a bike and the scooter. 



Things you say that I love to hear right now:
-  "Come on Owen, chase me!"
-  "Hey little buddy!" (when talking to Owen)
-  "Mommy, can we have some me and you time?"
-  "Mommy, I love you."
-  I heard you singing Jesus Loves Me the other day and it melted my heart.
-  A friend of yours was talking about monsters and you replied, 'Whenever you get scared of monsters, you can just talk to God and he will help you."  Yes!!!!



You love school and are just soaking up so much.  You like to introduce yourself to the gas station attendants and want to invite them to play at your house.  You love people and always make friends wherever we happen to be playing.  Those friends are normally girls and you have asked on multiple occasions if we can have more babies, "lots of baby girls" you say.  =)  (The answer is NO!)




I love being your mommy and am so proud of you Gram.  Happy birthday!!

Happy 18 months Owen!



18 months of joy with this little guy!  I remember this same feeling with Gram, a feeling of fullness, the feeling that Owen is so much more than I ever could have expected.  He is more quirky and more funny and more strong and more sweet than I imagined.  He is full of personality, we just can't get enough of him.

Owen, you are a teddy bear, my sweet boy.  You love to snuggle and give hugs and kisses.  You lose your mind when a dog comes around cause you want to hug and kiss and ride him.  You are so strong willed.  You make your voice heard above those 5 times your size.  You love to play, even when you have had little sleep and I have had little sleep, you play and play and play.  You only like riding in the stroller if Gram is with you. You love to jump- jump on the couch and jump off the bed into our arms.  You have no fear my wild one.  

It's kind of weird, but you like to stand on us when we are laying down and sit on our heads (did I mention you are also more weird than I imagined!)  You love to eat and you love to dance and clap your hands.  And more than anything, you love to do what Gram does.

You are a special little boy, Owen.  You fill our lives every day and we are so grateful God gave you to us.  Happy 18 months stinker!
